MOST ILLUSTRIOUS SIR,

I have made inquiries of the Vicar of the district of the Calle Nueva de

Asalto and other streets, for the purpose of learning the character and

conduct of Teresa Sola, now Salanova, and of the girl Antonia, who lives

with her, and whose name has hitherto been unknown, but is now

ascertained to be Antonia Costa. These two persons live in the third

story of a house which makes the corner of the Calle de la Guardia. It

has been ascertained from the _cartepacio_ of the communions, that

neither the said Teresa Salanova, nor Antonia Costa, have, within the

present year, presented their certificates of the Paschal communion.

Respecting the soldier named Joseph, of the Swiss regiment of Vetchar, I

have not been able to learn anything, except that the regiment is now in

Madrid.

The above is the substance of what I have succeeded in learning, and I

communicate the same that your Excellency may apply it to the proper

purposes. God preserve the life of your Excellency many years.

Barcelona, July 2d, 1802.

Your most humble chaplain who kisses the hands of your Excellency,

CAYETANO TUCO, _Presbyter Commissary_.
