Letter of reply from Charles I to Juan Sebastián Elcano, written on 11 September 1522, after his arrival in Sanlúcar de Barrameda from the Magellan-Elcano expedition. In it, the monarch acknowledges receipt of his letter in which he tells him of his arrival with the ship Victoria and orders him to go, together with two of the expedition’s members – “the most sane and best reasoned” – to meet him. In the letter, Charles I informs him that he has ordered the officers of the Casa de la Contratación to dress them and provide them with what they need, and that they are to make a record of what has happened. He also granted him the quarter and the twenty that belonged to him.
