As to what you say in regard to Don Juan Ronquillo no resolution will be adopted in regard to him until the termination of the suit in which he is engaged.

The affair will be settled as soon as possible after the arrival of the papers, and on that will depend what shall be done with this person--of whose service and their good results I am well informed, and for which I wish to show him favor.

In regard to Rodrigo de Guilestegui you will advise me more fully in what way provision can be made for him.

I have been advised of the good qualities and merits which you say are displayed in Don Fernando Centeno Maldonado.

You mention likewise how little justification there is for some of the informations which have been made by that Audiencia concerning the merits and services of those who claim that I should favor them.
