I am not one of those who distribute bread at the gate of his palace, nor who seek popularity through almsgiving.
I have pasture lands in Estremadura, many vineyards in La Mancha, houses, and above all State stock--much stock.

As a good Spaniard I have wished to help the Government with my money, more especially as it bears interest.

I do not quite know how much I possess, but certainly twenty millions of reals, and probably more, all saved by myself and increased by fortunate speculations.

I cannot complain of fate, and the Lord has helped me.

Everything is for my poor Visitacion.
