103.
Sacred, imperial, and catholic Majesty,
The place of laundress of the Queen our lady is vacant. Antonio de Vozmediano, superintendent of the household of her Highness, will, in my name, speak to your Majesty about it. I beseech your Majesty to appoint the person he will name. Her Highness will be well served, and money will be spared. I pray our Lord to guard your sacred, imperial, and catholic Majesty, to augment your royal crown, and to give you happiness. From Tordesillas, 23rd of February.
[Written by the Marquis :] To day I have again spoken with the Queen our lady about her confessing. Her Highness said to me that she would do it, but did not know any one belonging to the Order of Santo Domingo. I said to her Highness that the late as well as the present provincial are honourable men, and that she would be satisfied with either of them. Her Highness told me to send for him. I shall do so. Although I am such a bad man that I cannot believe that for the sake of my prayers so good a thing could be done, I nevertheless recommend it to God, and shall use all the diligence necessary. Your Majesty's servant and vassal kisses your royal hands.
The Marquis. [Sign manual.]
[Addressed :] To her sacred, imperial, and catholic Majesty, the Empress and Queen our lady, &c.
