Geronimo Lachapella appeared before (Penalver) and showed a receipt for 8 reales from Father Juan de Dios Valdez for a bequest, others for the three Masses, for the 100 Masses, one from Caldes for 2000 pesos to be distributed to the poor. The 500 pesos to be given to Albarez were taken by Ximenez, shown to Father Teodoro Tirzo (H)Enriquez, Vicar of the province on August 21, 1792 and a draft was drawn on the Bishop of Havana, Felipe Trespalacios so that (Penalver) could send it to Galicia, but since the first executor did not return to this colony and lives in Havana it is not known if it was received safely since the receipt was not found in the papers and time is asked proportionate to the difficulty of communication because of the war. Lachapella signs as Geromo LaChiapella.
