Note XIX‑21 — Chapter XIX · THE ECCLESIASTICS IN CHIAPAS. 1550.

Las Casas' hostile reception and his subsequent reconciliation with the settlers described by Remesal, Hist. Chyapa, 379-87, I am inclined to discredit, owing to the well known tendencies of this writer, and the fact that the letter of Father Casillas, Pacheco and Cárdenas, Col. Doc., vii. 181-2, written when Las Casas was on his return from Gracias á Dios, does not indicate such hostility.
