We herewith transmit you orders to proceed in company with another
person of sacerdotal character to officiate as Notary, having first
sworn fidelity and secrecy, and summon before you, Antonia Puxant,
daughter of Jaime Puxant, living in the Calle del Hom. You will
ascertain from her, upon oath, whether the subjoined letter be hers,
whether she affirms the contents to be true, and whether there be any
part of the same to alter, or any addition to make. Within four days of
this, you will ratify the above depositions before the Notary, and other
trustworthy persons, and if any testimony which may corroborate the same
should offer, you will receive it, and ratify the said testimony at the
end of four days in like manner. Information respecting the character
and credit of the witnesses, you will transmit, written in the margin of
the depositions. Also in a separate paper you will forward an account of
the character and christian conduct of the person denounced. This order
is to be returned to our hands with all the other papers. Our Lord
preserve you many years.
