The reader has been empowered to be able to read the contents of the original documents in two languages, English and Spanish. Most important is the actual copy of the contract that had been drawn between the king and Juan Ponce de Leon outlining what was expected and what time limit had been set to fulfill the binding clauses that set the stage for the exploration and discovery of Florida and its surrounding islands that were executed at Juan Ponce de Leon's own expense.
