Our honored Lord, living here as emissary to the King and as chief, we are speaking to Your Honor; having mercy on us, may we be heard.

Now, when our honored lord Benito Ruíz, who is emissary to the King, came here, he spoke to me. “May I be lent some land”, I was told. “Now you have this village that is lived in, and if by your lending I have it, then those people of this village that are in Apalachee will come here to gather, and be made to live in this village."
