Summary
Case of high level corruption. Beginning with charges against Antonio Gonzales de Villalba for graft and inefficiency, and progressing to charges by Luis de Valdez of a white-wash by the investigating orders of the ciud. de Guadalajara, Luis de Valdez is appealing to the king. Apparently, the troubles of Nueva Viscaya are due to, in Valdezs eyes, the lack of competency on the part of officials, of whom Gonzales Villalba is of the worst. The robbing and killing by the Tobosos and Conchos y otras naciones are directly related to Gonzales villalbas grafting of money meant to pay soldiers and buy their supplies.
