[1814]. Carta de Ildefonso Martín, fraile, para Luis de Sosa.

Author(s) Ildefonso Martín      
Addressee(s) Luis de Sosa      
In English

Letter from Ildefonso Martín, a friar, to Luis de Sosa.

the author asks Luis de Sosa to send him more material to read, since he is isolated by the storm and the war.

This litigation against Colonel Luis de Sosa for statements made by the defendant in several publications, was issued by Public Security Minister Pedro Agustín de Echevarri after a denunciation made by Leon´s bishop Ignacio Ramón de Roda. In the aforementioned statements, the defendant cast doubt on the King´s sovereignty and expressed his sympathy for the constitutional regime of 1812. Sosa was made prisoner, his properties were seized and all the documents found in his house were confiscated, among which the letters provided to the proceeding documentation. In his own defence, Luis de Sosa argued his military merits as a colonel of Leon during the Independence War and the public documents in which he praised Fernando VII. Furthermore, he argued being always respectful of the current legitimacy. He qualified that ever since the abolition of the Constitution, he never showed disagreement with the King, given that he considered himself as a loyal subject. Once the letters, the declarations and the rest of the documents were examined, Luis de Sosa was acquitted since there was not enough proof of his membership to the liberal party.

Mi estimado Dn Luis: van los adjuntos qe no remiti antes por no haberseme proporcionado conductor de mi satisfaccion. Estimaré qe por el dador me remita VMd otros aunqe con atraso de quince dias y reservando para los curiosos de ahi los mas ultimos, qe a mi bien me vendran de aqui a una semana. El temporal nos ha tenido bloqueados casi todo el mes. Un joven Anacarsis, y el Carlos 5o por Robertson me desquitan de los rigores de la estacion y del bloqueo, y nada me faltaria para hallarme contento, si pudiese disfrutar dos horas al dia de la preciosa conversacion del Señor Sosa. Mi destino es leer muchisimo y casi no oir nada; siempre libros y nunca hombres. Cuidese VMd mucho para gusto y satisfaccion de los qe le estiman entre los qe tiene el honor de contarse

Su apasdo Cappn y Amo Fr Yldefonso Martin Diciembre 18
