Diego has assigned a new administrator in Amusco since the last one passed away, and he comments on the legal problems Lara has with the Duke of Arcos. He also shares the latest news about the Count of Superunda and the trial to judge the generals who were at the siege of La Havana. Diego José has been running errands to obtain privileges for Lara’s brother.
