[_Endorsed_: "Manila; to his Majesty; 1637. Don Sebastian Hurtado de
Corcuera, August 20; contains particulars regarding the master-of-camp
Pedro de Heredia." "February 5, 1639; hand to the fiscal." "The fiscal
says that this letter comes alone, and without any accompanying proofs
of the allegations. This residencia could be awaited, if an account of
it comes in the fleet; and if it is delayed in the Audiencia it can be
entrusted to the auditor whom the Council shall be pleased to appoint,
so that the residencia may be taken in a thoroughly satisfactory manner
and referred to the Council for its decision. Let the governor be
informed that he must endeavor most carefully to administer justice in
such cases, without giving any opportunity for composition of offences,
which is so injurious to justice, which should be administered with
the utmost equity and uprightness to all persons. Madrid, February
22, 1639." "February 28; wait for the coming of the fleet, to see
what information about this matter shall arrive; and if any comes,
let it be brought with this letter."]
