 Torquemada himself mentioned playlets or scenes (""comedias o reprecentaciones"") he had written in Nahuatl for members of the Confraternity of Our Lady of Soledad to perform at the chapel of "San José de los naturales", a large mostly open space adjacent to the main Franciscan church of "San Francisco de México" which could accommodate thousands of persons.None of these pieces have survived.Other writings include two unpublished letters found in the General Archive of the Indies in Seville (dating from 1620), and two long apologetic "Statements" (or "alegatos", dating from 1621) eventually published by Icazbalceta.
