It is the truth that when the Lord Infante departed from Messina,. I hired a ship of Barcelona, which was in the harbour of Palermo at the orders of En P. Desmunt, and ordered it to come to Messina and from Messina to Catania. And so, likewise, I sent there a lady of quality, a noble lady who came from Ampurdan and was called my Lady Agnes de Adri and had come to Sicily as com­ panion of the noble Lady Isabel de Cabrera, wife of the noble En Berenguer de Sarriá, and had had twenty-two children, and was very devout and good. And so I obtained from the said Lady Isabel and from the said noble that they would leave her to me, and that I would entrust the Lord Infante En Jaime, son of the Lord Infante En Ferrando, to her ; and, in their courtesy, they left her to me. And I entrusted the Lord Infante to her, for it seemed to me that she must know much about children ; and also because of her worth and because she was of good and honourable lineage. And, besides, there was there a good lady who had been wetnurse of the Lord Infante En Ferrando, whom iny Lady, the Queen of Mallorca, had sent him when she heard he had married. And then I had other ladies, and the Infante had a good wet-nurse of good constitution, who was from Catania and nourished him abundantly. And besides his wet-nurse, I had two others put on board the ship, with their infants, so that if one failed the others should be ieady. And I put these two on board with their infants, in order that their milk should not spoil,

rather they should suckle their infants every day until they were wanted.
