| PAGE 1 Receipt signed by Gilbert Leonard for
4,213
reales, partial rental due for use of the schooner Nuestra Señora del Cármen as a
temporary
jail
during the period December 10, 1794 to February 26, 1895. This copy of the receipt was to be issued to the
ship's owner, Don Prospero Ferrayolo, to serve as a credit voucher. Use of Ferrayolo's ship was made
necessary by the great fire of December 8, 1794, which destroyed the royal jail along with hundreds of other
buildings in the city.
