This is a group of two (2) manuscripts, one signed by Domingo Dulce de Garay, a former Capitain General of Cuba (Governor General), and both are about a group of females slaves being sent to the Hospital de San Francisco de Paula because of complaints they made. Male slaves are being provisionally kept in a slave depository according to Article 7 of the law. One document is also signed by the Bishop "El Obispo". Such slavery manuscripts, with one in particular signed by a Capitain of Cuba are hard to find. PROVENANCEL: Private collection (Toronto, Canada)
