Notes

  • -  The King had decreed that the Franciscan friars should take under their supervision the nuns of the Convent of the Conception in Mexico City, but the friars had declined because they said that it would interfere with their religious work among the Indians. The King, therefore, instructs the archbishop to take the nuns under his care following the same instructions given to the Franciscan friars. The archbishop is to send a report upon his fulfillment of the decree.
