I am continuing to inspire them with love and affection for your Majesty's service, and they are already very favorably inclined toward our nation.

And beyond even the mandarins and viceroys, I understand that all the people wish to see us in their country.

I beseech your Majesty, in case these men keep their word, to order me to execute what is most advisable for your service as quickly as possible, for it would be of very great importance not to lose such an opportunity.
The trade continues to increase, so that, were vessels not lacking, a great quantity of goods would be sent to Nueva Spana.

The Chinese are so careful merchants, that they bring goods in proportion to the vessels that come to the port.

Although I have built one very fine galley of five hundred toneladas--at so slight a cost that the sum does not amount to eight thousand pesos--and your Majesty has four other useful vessels, still two more would be necessary for the trading fleet.
