Dear Mother and Father,
 * Written in the year 1535**

I am leaving to claim new land for Spain. This is how I will earns my life's rewards. I would not choose this option if you had not given our family fortune to Gonzalo. When I come back, if I come back, I will return with good news and lots of gold. I have heard of a city that is made purely out of golden treasures. If I can find it, I shall be richer than the King and Queen. Your relationship with them has helped me greatly with supplies. I will write to the Queen and King frequently, but this may be the last time you hear from me. By the time you have finished reading this I will probably be several miles off shore. I am truly sorry that I did not tell you sooner, but I knew Mother would have held me back from the journey. Father, as a nobleman and corregidor of Burgos, you will know it is neccessary now that I take this trip. Farewell mother, farewell Father, until my possible return I bid you goodbye. Please say adios to Gonzalo for me. I hope he leads a happy and wealthy life, but a slow and painful death. Stay beautiful, Mother. Father, may you keep your high ranking.

Yours truly,

//Francisco Vasquez de Coronado//,

Your Terribly Brave Son
