Could it be this? Letters From Mexico (Yale Nota Bene)
by Hernan Cortes
ISBN: 0300090943
Synopsis:
Written over a seven-year period to Charles V of Spain, Hernan Cortes's letters provide a narrative account of the conquest of Mexico from the founding of the coastal town of Veracruz until Cortes's journey to Honduras in 1525. The two introductions set the letters in context.
