First line
Most High, Mighty and Excellent Princes, Great and Catholic Sovereign Lords: We have good reason to believe that your Majesties have been informed by the letters of Diego Velazquez, Admiral's Deputy in the Island of Cuba, of the new land that was discovered some two or more years ago in these parts, which was first called Cozumel and afterwards Yucatan, without being either the one or the other as your Majesties shall see from our account.
From the rear cover
These five letters by the Spanish Conqueror Hernando Cortes were written to the Emperor Charles V of Spain between the years 1519 and 1526. They describe the earliest discoveries of the mainland, the perilous trek into hostile country, the capture of the Aztec capital, the extension of Cortes power throughout Mexico, the expedition to Honduras, and the organization and ordering of the Spanish empire in the new world.
