To Juana Gratias:
Ciudadela Barcelona, Santa Cruz
Dearest daughter: I have just received your last letter and I am answering you regarding the sickness of Maria Francisca. Give her the enclosed note. There are so many queerness and oddness in her sickness, something diabolical. It is not the lack of nourishment that cause her weakness and kills, but the medicines she takes. The pills attack the blood and since she could not empty, she has these attacks. She should be careful in taking medicines. Do not give her more than what is normal because this hunger is superimposed and is not an effect proper of the need. She needs to fight against the evil spirit that vexes her; and arm yourselves as well as all of us. Do you know what malady it is which clings and passes on from one to another? The evil spirit, when it torments one, it gets into another. Cast them out by prayer, penance and fasting and do not be afraid neither it will kill you nor will you die of this sickness.
