Translation-
The King
{Egsegio} count of Plansencia Lariente my lieutenant and captain general. Your letter has been received dated last September in which you say as an execution of what I ask you in {ilegible letter, probably a number} June you charged Leon Juan Fortuny for the three thousand-seventy and eight pounds which he owed to my Royal heritage, and because he was sick and in order to relief the debt you have deducted four-hundred pounds that he has paid you in cash, and given a year as a period to pay the pending amount with the bail that I have proposed you for the security and satisfaction of it allowing him to get out of jail until a new order of mine. And as having seen on this supreme council it's being seen proper to fulfill all that you have requested, since my board of heritage seems to agree. Because of this you will be able to ask to be executed by noticing the Register of the Treasury to have this money in a separated account so you can start fulfilling the tasks that I requested on the letter from eighteen of this same month so that is my will. Dated in Madrid 20 November 1658.
I, the King
