Title: Letter from Diego José, Fifth Count of Montemar to Francisco Manrique, Marquis of Lara, Madrid, Spain, January 4, 1763.
Description: In this letter Diego José notifies Lara of the things he is sending with Mathias de Landaburu in El Torero. He also copies part of a letter from Landaburu, so Lara can collect money from certain investments. Diego José has not been feeling well lately but still has taken care of Lara’s affairs. 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. He also comments on the loss of the corregimiento of Cangallo that he wanted for Juan Bautista but he hopes Arriaga will compensate him with another corregimiento for his brother. Finally, Diego José thinks Arriaga is in trouble and he might not continue in the Ministry of Indies.
