Accordingly, I gave them the whole history of the place, and of my coming to it; showed them my fortifications, the way I made my bread, planted my corn, cured my grapes; and, in a word, all that was necessary to make them easy. I told them the story also of the seventeen Spaniards that were to be expected, for whom I left a letter, and made them promise to treat them in common with themselves.
Conséquemment je leur fis tout l'historique du lieu et de ma venue en ce lieu. Je leur montrai mes fortifications; je leur indiquai la manière dont je faisais mon pain, plantais mon blé et préparais mes raisins; en un mot je leur enseignai tout ce qui était nécessaire pour leur bien-être.
