Scholarly Sleuths Scuttle Shady Sale of Letter Sent to Hernán Cortés

A Bigger Issue Revealed by the Cortés Letter
Unbeknownst to many, this letter had long been in possession of the AGN. But it suddenly showed up on the ‘for sale’ list at Swann Galleries, a prestigious antique auction house located in New York City.

The researchers had been searching auction house websites in multiple countries, on the lookout for Cortés documents specifically.
