Note 3 — LETTER FROM CARRION TO RUEDA
Reading edition
Concerning the unhappy condition of the missions of the empire of China, your Reverence will already have had accurate information through the Portuguese fathers who were ordered to be taken to Europa by their not king—“I am not king,” as he said at the time of the earthquakes, and as he has caused us to see afterward in our misfortunes.3 What has become of Father Master Manuel Guevara, who was confused with the Portuguese? Has he died or has he been restored to our province of Toledo? If he is living, a thousand greetings [to him].
