[Under date of Manila, August 2, 1638, the city cabildo of Manila write
the king a detailed account of Corcuera's campaign in Jolo, which
was begun in December, 1637. Inasmuch as this letter covers ground
sufficiently treated in documents already presented in this series, it
is not here given. The original is conserved in the Archivo general de
Indias with pressmark, "est. 68, caj. 1, leg. 32;" and it is presented
by Pastells in his edition of Colin (iii, pp. 528-532). Pastells
(iii, pp. 532, 533) follows this letter by a document showing the
value of the artillery and other things seized from the Joloans,
and the money value of the captives who were sold as slaves. This
document is conserved in the same archives and has the same pressmark
as the above. It is as follows:]
The relation of the expense incurred on his Majesty's account during
the expedition made to the kingdom of Jolo by Don Sebastian Hurtado
de Corcuera, in December, 1637; also the value of what was seized
and gained from the enemy; and the net gain. Subtracting the one from
the other, the result is as follows:
