La Princesa Regente de España al Emperador extractos)

Valladolid,

I sent off a courier on September 13th with a letter that your Majesty has already received, or else will see by the enclosed duplicate. I am now sending Don Hernando de Rojas, majordomo to my nephew, the Infante, to visit your Majesty and enquire after your health and welfare, and also to visit the King and Queen of England, my brother and sister. I feel very anxious about them, and have also been disturbed by an account brought by a Spanish gentleman recently come from Italy by way of the French Court, to the effect that your Majesty had successfully invaded France with your army and were already as far as Amiens. God carry you onward and grant you the victory we are all praying for. He also said there were news that the King, my brother, had been crowned in London to the entire kingdom's satisfaction, and I am daily waiting for letters from his Highness, for we have heard nothing since the Admiral arrived here . . . . . (Spanish affairs; the outlook in North Africa.)

After the above had been written, Don Juan Tavera came from the King of England's Court, which he left on August 29th. His account and the letters he brought told me of your Majesty's health and the progress of events in England. May Our Lord be pleased to send us the good news we wish to hear! . . . (North Africa; Italian affairs.)
