Letter from Cortez on Aztec Economy (Text). This comes from a book with the following citation Cortes, Hernan. Fernando Cortes, His Five Letters of Relation to the Emperor Charles V. Vol. 1. A.H. Clark Company, 1908. 257-259. I have access to this book for free via Google Books. I believe that copyrights to the information produced here have expired anyway as the book was published in 1908 (more than 100 years ago).
