And as if it was little, it spent most of his fortune in fomenting the insurrection. In that one time it was not taught to write to the women, because one said that in that form the one was avoided who wrote to their fiancès or pretendientes; but they learned to read, reason why Doña Josefa, who did not know to write or to draw the letters, ingeniaba standing out of newspapers the letters, to form with them words that beat in papers, forming therefore the messages that it sent to Beyond and to Hidalgo priest , visible heads of the conspiracy, communicating to them the warnings who would have to know with opportunity, through a missile specialist who served as mail.
