Flores to Aguayo, November 2, 1723, Ibid., 5-7; Autos sre diferentes puntos, 20. Some differences appear in the declaration of the four soldiers mentioned above in regard to these negotiations. They said that Father González wished to send the squaw as a messenger of peace, but that Flores refused, until the priest told him that dire consequences would result if she were not sent. Flores finally consented, and with much labor González succeeded in making the woman understand what was required of her. She was dressed out splendidly and despatched. When she and her companions returned, they stayed three days, but as there was no interpreter and they could not understand well what was wanted, they were given presents and sent back (Ibid.). Arricivita, Crónica, 341-343, gives an account of some of these negotiations.
