Several conferences and debates were held with that official [Arredondo's visit in 1736], in which Oglethorpe exaggerated supposed rights, alleging that*[Arredondo note * Reply given in writing by Oglethorpe to the official sent, which remains in his possession and in the archives of Havana.] the country had been discovered and conquered by Sebastian Cabot in the year 1497 under patents from Henry VII of England, and that title had been subsequently sustained by Francis Drake, who, by order of Queen Elizabeth, had taken and destroyed the fort of San Agustin, and that all the lands as far as 29° had been granted to the Lords Proprietors by Kings James I, Charles I, and Charles II.
