_ 51 _ Your Highness’s letter of 26 June answered that of the Serene King and I told him that Your Highness had ordered me to send it. He told me that he will see it, and he replied at once that the men who were seizes in the caravel were freed on condition that they presented themselves to Your Highness’s court to await whatever was decided by law. The caravel and the contents were given against securities. When the King answers me, I shall write in greater length to Your Highness I have not been given the other letter Your Highness mentions as signed by the members of the Council, nor has the Patriarch replied to what I wrote to him when I learned that the caravel had been captured. May God protect Your Highness’s royal life and increase your exalted state. From Lisbon 14 July 1549.
