Continuing the previous article in this expose porteos then some letters to "stamp" rates in the period in question. These appear in Pamplona in 1785 the porting first die and then those of Tudela. At the end of the century, in both places get away and again by hand. It is from 1815 with the new rates when they are new stamps and will no longer break your application. Charter

Letter circulated on June 9, 1788 from Madrid to RONCAL, indicating the route that should take handwritten by: Logroño and Pamplona, \u200b\u200bwhere he is imposed the seven quarts of porter to stamp and black ink.

Manuscript by the sender "For the Poor of France", indicating the race should remain the same. La Mala, was the race that went from Madrid to Irun and understood the Main Administration of Burgos, Vitoria, Bilbao, Pamplona and Logroño.
As we are dealing with rates and already discussed in Chapter VI, for cards up to 6 adarmes simple, ports will have to pay between Navarra and Aragon, Alcarria, Castilla la Nueva, or Madrid, it was 6 / 4, as shown in the following letters, in particular that I play then circulated from Zaragoza to Pamplona Roncal, with 6 rooms to stamp in black ink, as it passes through the Main Caxa Pamplona. Crowned is marked ARA / GON in three equally black ink lines.

As we have seen, the two Caxas: Principal aggregate Pamplona and Tudela, given their importance were those cleared and delivered to the appropriate stamps to carry and put on the letters. You can also see differences between the various figures, even with wear and for their use.
As in Chapter V, I referred to a letter addressed in this chapter I will refer also, for historical reasons, to other recipients of the many letters that make up my collection of pre-philately of Navarra In this case it is D. PEDRO VICENTE Gambro, curious and interesting character of the manor house which still exist, archive and descendants in the Roncal Valley.
This was because, D. Pedro Vicente de Gambra, the largest farmer, dealer and rafters (1) Zone in the eighteenth century, being Mayor of the Roncal and Captain Guerra and soul of the defense Roncal in those struggles, notably being a man of enterprise and great energy.
The Roncal Valley occupies, as is known, the northeast corner of Navarra, which borders the Pyrenees, at its highest, with France and Aragon. Cattle town of patriarchal customs, which has ancient privileges and self-administration, knowing even at the start of the late nineteenth century a relatively independent life alone, including Navarra and Aragon. It was in the War of the Convention (1793-94) with the participation our character, yet, according to its own law and custom, that is, forming a special body to his orders as Mayor Higher than in these cases adopted the title "Captain of War" (2). Thus, even medieval, had operated the little Roncal militia defending their own border, between the army corps commanded by General Navarre Caro, and Aragon led by the Prince of Castelfranco. And in those campaigns Valley could boast of being the only border area of \u200b\u200bNavarra in which the enemy could not enter and of having defended, at times, even with the participation of women Roncal. These services told the Gaceta de Madrid in a complimentary, deserve the gratitude of the king and the Roncal granting of two new barracks for his coat of arms. The children of our biography Gambra Francisco and Sebastian, were officers in the War of Independence appointed by the General Palafox and were under the command of Marshal D. Mariano Renovales (son of D. Pedro Vicente), undoubtedly one of the most representative heroes of that war.
(1) The raft is a raft made of several sections of equal length beams tied together by ropes vegetables (rods of hazel, willow wildlife, etc.) Rowing on the end and behind whose mission is to direct or drive the raft down the river bed. In the valleys of the Pyrenees of Navarre, Roncal, Salazar and Aezcoa, we find that the use of forests has been since time immemorial the main source of income and how rivers transport the wood to the places where it could be sold for processing. The timber was transported to form what is called a raft.
(2) In several letters addressed to my collection D. Pedro Vicente de Gambra, you can see the position of "Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Armies."
