Abstract
Description
Don Juan de Miralles, the Spanish representative, took ill during his visit and died in the Ford Mansion on April 28, 1780. His corpse was put on view in the house and was described by Gabriel Ford: �I remember looking upon his dead body with wonder, awe, and admiration, as it lay �in state�� in his richly ornamented open coffin, lined with fine cambric and covered with black velvet. Instead of a shroud, he was in a full-dress suit of scarlet, embroidered with gold lace; a three-cornered gold-laced hat; a cued wig; white silk stockings; large diamond-studded knee and shoe buckles; a prominent diamond ring on his finger, and from a superb gold watch set with diamonds several rich seals
were hung.�
