 | | I, the King, declare to those who see this letter of mine, that, since I had Dom Domingos, son of the king of Warri, come from his land to study in Coimbra, and I have ordered him to be received in the college of the St. Jerome religious, which is in the city of Coimbra. |
 | | Reverend Bishop Count etc.: Dom Domingos, son of the king of Warri, requested of me that, since he has not yet receive payment of the 200,000 reals that I ordered to be paid from my account each year, and he is in dire need, my Court should look into the matter. |
 | | Examining this in Counsel, we recommend that, since the said Dom Domingos requested to go and it is established that the king, his father, is calling him, that you should write to the Marquis that he should tell him that your Majesty is in full agreement. |
