(displayLabel="Scope and Contents note")
- Manuscript document written in Havana, Cuba dated August 29, 1849. Four pages (three with text and one blank). This is a very curious document related to the Chinese Colono slaves in Cuba. The document has been written at the office of the Captain General of Cuba and was signed by Capt. General Federico de Roncali, 1st Count of Alcoy. The document states that the head of the Healthcare and Medical Council in Manzanillo, Manuel Merchan has refused to provide medical treatment to a Chinese Colono Slave. As a result, Merchan is fired from his position. Don Federico de Roncali y Ceruti, 1st Count of Alcoy (Cadiz, Spain, 1809-3 April 1857) was a Spanish noble, politician and military personnel who served as Prime Minister of Spain between 1852 and 1853. He held other important offices such as Captain General of Cuba and Minister of State. Alcoy was the second son of Agustin de Roncali y Martinez de Murcia, Knight of Santiago, and his wife Maria del Carmen Ceruti y Feit. His eldest brother was Joaquin de Roncali, 1st Marquis of Roncali, also a prominent politician in the reign of Isabella II of Spain. Translated summary of the document reads as follows; There is a seal of the Governor Captain General of Cuba, To the Secretary of the Healthcare and Medical Council, The Lieutenant Governor of Manzanillo informs that Manuel Merchan has been replaced as head of the Healthcare and Medical Council. Merchan has refused to treat the Asiatic man, Jose. This prompted our decision to fire him. Signed: Havana, 29/8/1849. Signed; El Conde de Alcoy.
