A nearly 500-year-old manuscript signed by the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortés in 1527 has been returned to the Archivo General de la Nación de México — Mexico’s national archives in Mexico City, U.S. officials said Tuesday.
The manuscript is a payment order signed by Cortés on April 27, 1527, authorizing the purchase of rose sugar for the pharmacy in exchange for 12 gold pesos.
It is believed to be one of several pieces unlawfully removed from a collection of documents concerning a Spanish expedition to Central America in 1527 that is housed in Mexico’s national archives.
Last week officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts and the FBI participated in a formal repatriation ceremony at Mexico’s national archives, where the manuscript is believed to have been unlawfully removed sometime before 1993.

Mexico was helping president Trump keep people on their side of the Border but not anymore because President Biden wants them as future voters. This won't happen in the next 4 years or 8 years because we will have regime change.
Mexico is a narco state. Let's not forget that Leon Trotsky was assassinated by Stalin because this was a socialist country one party rule of the PRI until the 1980s.
Drugs, millions of illegal aliens and human trafficking is part of a country that is out of control. When President Trump was in office, there were 300,000 illegal alien encounters, in the last year, there were 1.75 million illegal encounters and this was done by Design and that's why the homeland security Chief is going to be impeached very soon.
Mexico, the amoeba country!
