1812. Carta de Juan Francisco González del Pico, empleado en el Real Hospital de Marina, para Andrés López.

Letter from Juan Francisco González del Pico, an employee at the Real Hospital de Marina, to Andrés López.

The author asks Andrés López to act on his behalf and take possession of certain fields that belong to him.

Following the possession and property of a field a litigation between Manuel Sanjurjo Bermúdez and Andrés López, as representative of Juan Francisco González, took place in 1816. Two letters are included in the documentation of the process (PS6193 y PS6194). The first one (PS6193) was provided by Manuel Sanjurjo to prove that Juan Francisco González did not want to go to trial and preferred to donate the land to the plaintiff; the second letter (PS6194) was provided by Andrés López to prove by collating the handwritings that the first letter was false and that Juan Francisco González´s intention was always to take ownership of the field. Regarding the authorship of the letter PS6193, the respondent party argued as follows: "falsity could not be more obvious. If we collate the handwritings and the signatures from both letters, we can find the deformity and similitude in both of them. In the signature of the letter sent to me reads 'Juan Francisco González del Pico' whilst in the supplanted one it just reads 'Juan Francisco González'. It is manifest, not only in the saturated handwriting, but also in the 'G' of the surname 'González' which arches back while in the real one it arches to the front. There is also not any similitude in the signature" (fl. 81r).
