Warrant on behalf of António de Saldanha de Albuquerque Castro Ribafria, administrator of the entail instituted by Rui Freire de Andrade, allowing him to resign his appointment to the capitania of the fortress of Damão, since to this entail belonged the appointment of a three-year possession of the capitanias of the fortresses of Sofala (royal mercy awarded by warrant from 1651.12.19 to Ângela de Noronha in view of her marriage) and Damão (royal mercy awarded from 1603-02-06), both of which were then granted to D. Ângela Estefânia de Noronha by warrant dated 1669-03-28. This resignation exempts the beneficiary from complying with the condition established by the entail institutor in terms of the obligation of annexing to the entail the three parts of the income of the capitania of Sofala.
