First sentence: Most High, Mighty and Excellent Princes, Great and Catholic Sovereign Lords: We have good reason to believe that your Majesties have been informed by the letters of Diego Velazquez, Admiral's Deputy in the Island of Cuba, of the new land that was discovered some two or more years ago in these parts, which was first called Cozumel and afterwards Yucatan, without being either the one or the other as your Majesties shall see from our account.
