_ 410 _ I do not think Canobio should be given more importance than is due to an agent of the Pope's nephew, with good audiences and intentions, so that one can then proceed as I have said above. In order for this elected Frei Felipe to be able to leave it was necessary to arrange by secret means with António da Fonseca, a banker, for him to be given two hundred and sixty cruzados so that he could pay his debts, for which it was necessary and reasonable to agree that Frei Felipe may have this expense, and anything more that might be necessary to carry his cause forward, from the revenues of the monastery, and on Your Highness's behalf I undertook to pay the money to Antonio da Fonseca. May Our Lord protect and increase the life and royal estate of Your Highness. From Rome, 15 March 1560.
