Contract between

Menendez
and

the King of Spain.

Things Menendez was to do:

1. To invade Florida with 500 men.

2. To expel the French.

3. To conquer the natives.

4. To establish a colony.

5. To send out 500 colonists, 100 of whom must be married.

In return Menendez was

1. To be governor of Florida for life.

2. To receive a salary.

3. To have 75 square miles of land as private

property.

4. To have commercial privileges.

NOTE. In connection with Menendez's cruel expulsion of the French, the teacher will remind his class that the same man was appointed commander of the Armada, the Catholic crusade against Protestant England. He died before the expedition started from Spain.
