Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ...Indios, MS., No. 18, fols. 6-11. The Franciscan order claim to have founded the first church, but some deubt exists as to their priority from the fact that in the books of the cabildo it is recorded that on May 30, 1525, a piece of land for an orchard was granted to Fray Pedro de Villagran, who is styled the parish priest "of the church of this city."5 It is not unreasonable to conclude that Cortes, previous to his departure, marked out the site and took measures for the erection of a church, which was begun during his absence, and completed at a later date. 4Cortts, Residencia, i. passim; Motolinia, Hist.
