The Dominican Fathers went to Ormuz when Father Brandao left for Goa(B). When the friars arrived there, they found the huts empty, so they settled in them and are now using them as their monastery. Father Brandao brought a thousand cruzados with him and gave them to the College(C). That is all I know. Let Your Reverence now see who is to blame in this matter, and how the fathers are now in those houses, and if they can have them and through whose fault they are there [352r] and let him see the reason for leaving Ormuz and allowing the Dominicans to be in the house that the King took to give to the society and after they had been given, for the society to be in possession of them for more than three years. (A) This probably happened in 1559. (B) He returned before May 1560; indeed Frois writes on 1st December 1560” “Father Aires Brandao came from Ormuz this year and arrived here before winter”. (Documenta Indica Vol. IV 728). (C) That is, the college of Goa.
