The ANNT contains in the section Gavetas (Gav. 20-1-53) an important summary of the India letters of the year 1533 made for the use of the Secretary for India Pero d’Alcáçova Carneiro, soon after the arrival of the return fleet of 1534, with marginal notes of the said secretary regarding the answer to be given or not to be given and the steps to be taken on their account. As the 124 letters, of which summaries are given, are not preserved, these extracts are better than nothing. So, from that we know that in letter #64, Dom Joao Pereira writes from Goa on the 26th of October, 1533, giving an account of the whole trip, from Lisbon to India.
