(Worth SGC) ...by the first evidence [Document 1], it is verified that in the year 1565 Your Majesty made an agreement [asiento] with Pedro Menendez de Aviles about [f.2] the conquest of Florida, which is that on the reverse of folio 6 of this testimony, and that encouraging this intention, his beatitude Pope Pius the fifth wrote him the letter on the reverse of folio 28. NOTE 1. Since the original royal asiento to Pedro Menendez de Aviles, along with much of the remaining material in Document 1, had been presented elsewhere (Lyon, 1976: 213-219), this 49-folio portion of the Montiano package was not microfilmed in Seville at the same time as the rest of the material (1991).
