Royalists (women)Biography:
The daughter of Manuel Martínez de Matta of León, Spain, and Josefa Irarrázaval, she married a Spaniard, Manuel Pérez Camino. On 29 December 1821 she wrote to José Alejo Eyzaguirre, a high priest expelled to Mendoza by Bernardo O'Higgins in commiseration, and to express her unease about his exile. She probably wrote the letter in Santiago de Chile. (Vergara Quiroz, 120-121)
