[English translation of the foregoing.] Antonio Luis da Camara Coutinho, viceroy of India, friend, I the king greet you well. Having seen what you wrote concerning the business entrusted to you in connection with the affairs of the rivers, and of populating them with Canarins, and the report which you sent of their riches, stating that to explore them and to preserve them, it is absolutely necessary to populate and garrison them with Portuguese soldiers, appointing a general for the said rivers of such ability as to inspire respect, so that this state may recover what enemies have caused it to lose for want of a person who knows how to inspire them with fear; I think fit to command you to send to the rivers as many of your men as possible, as it is understood that a great number of those who went to Mombasa would remain behind, and let garrisons be sent to those places which are considered to be most in peril and in greatest need of defence. I earnestly recommend you to give every care to the defence, preservation, and prosperity of the rivers, assisting them by every means in your power; and I inform you that this matter is being dealt with, that in the coming monsoon such steps may be taken as are considered most useful. As to the appointing of a general, which you say is necessary for the said rivers, I think fit to inform you that Antonio de Castro and Sande has been appointed to this post, from whose experience and ability it is expected that he will in every way strictly comply with his obligations.
