1755. Carta de Catalina López para su hijo Francisco Ventura, oficial de cirujano y aprendiz.

Letter from Catalina López to her son Francisco Ventura, an official surgeon apprentice.

The author writes to her son Francisco Ventura advising him about how to behave. She doubts he is acting correctly and she asks him to redress his behaviour and to allow his brothers to lead him.

The trial occurred between 1755 and 1760 against Diego Ventura Pastor for Judaizer. Eventually he was condemned. He was a cattle trader and a linens weaver. The sender, Catalina López, is the defendant´s wife. On the left margin of the folio 17r it is written: "received in the Holy Office of Toledo on June the 27th 1755", "this and the two other letters are to be included in Diego Ventura´s file".
