How Hernando Pizarro continued to approach the city of Cuzco , and how Almagro was very infirm , and how he held a review of his forces

After the captains Hernando Pizarro and Alonzo de Alvarado had come to an agreement they set out from that place with all the forces that had yet arrived, sending skirmishers in front to obtain early news of what was passing and, that they might not be seen by the scouts of Almagro, they left the main road and travelled at some distance from it. Here they met some Spaniards who were coming over to join them, who told 193Hernando Pizarro that Almagro was so ill that by that time he must be dead. Hernando Pizarro replied that God would not cause him so great a misfortune as that Almagro should not die by his hands; and the army of the Pizarros marched on, using great caution when coming near to the city of Cuzco.
