6. Father Falcao waited in the Bernarducci Fernandes' house, of whose integrity and willingness to aid, the Fathers spoke highly, assuring me I should get further information from him. Fernandes, however, regretted that he had absolutely no information to give, but promised to send me any he might obtain.
