We have found the "Zunis" Indians and have won war against them. My army and I have conquered their village, but I have some bad news. The town is not made of gold as I thought, and it is only occupied of //about// 100 inhabitants. The town is called "Hawikuh", but we have made //some// use. This village is now our camp and base. I have sent some groups to go East and West. One of them has sent a messenger. They say they have found a 'grand' and 'giant' canyon of unnammable size, but nothing else of the description. I might send another troop after them to make sure the canyon of great wonder is there, but I haven't decided. I am going to move my troops to a place called "Rio Grande Valley" near some "Pueblo" Indians. It is very dry and hot out, but I know we can make it. I will keep in touch.

Sicerely, //**Francisco Vasquez de Coronado**//
