<p>[Translation]of State, my Captain General of the Ocean Sea and of the<br />Coast of Andalucia:</p>
<p>By various avenues He has been advised<br />that the English are attempting to procure a foothold on<br />the Island of Virginia, with the end of sallying<br />forth from there to commit piracy. As it is convenient to<br />have an understanding with detailed information about<br />that island and to know about its exact location, when<br />it was discovered and by whom, what port it has, and<br />what its potentials are, and to where one can sail from it<br />using the prevailing winds, and all the rest one can know<br />of that place; therefore you will obtain all of the above<br />information from those people who have such knowledge<br />and then communicate it to me as soon as possible.</p>
