Fragment of a letter
Last page of a letter, dated in Manila in 1783 (month and date missing), from the president and oidores of the Audiencia, informing the king of decisions taken by the Acuerdo extraordinario de temporalidades concerning church property confiscated from the Jesuits, who had been expelled from the Philippines in 1768.
