Note 9 — Letter from Dasmarinas to the Ruler of Japan
Reading edition
Juan Cobo was a prominent member of the Dominican order in Manila. He accomplished his errand as envoy to Japan, but on the return voyage was shipwrecked, presumably on the coast of Formosa; it is supposed that any who might survive the wreck were slain by the natives. See La Conception's Historia, ii, pp. 223–229.
