Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, amice honorandissime.

Commendata officiosissima voluntate.

Proficiscente istuc Gdańsk Town Council GedanensiumGdańsk Town Council tabellario non potui hanc salutandae Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae occasionem praetermittere. Cui omnem felicitatem ex animo opto.

Mitto ad Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram litteras, quibus meis respondit magnificus dominus Jan Kościelecki (Janusz Kościelecki) (*ca. 1490 – †1545), 1514 castellan of Kowal; 1523 - of Inowrocław; 1526-1535 - of Łęczyca; 1535-1538 - of Kalisz; 1538 voivode of Inowrocław; 1540 - of Brześć Kujawski; 1542 - of Łęczyca; 1529 envoy of the Crown diet to Lithuania, to king Sigismund I Jagiellon (Urzędnicy 1/2)palatinus BrzestensisJan Kościelecki (Janusz Kościelecki) (*ca. 1490 – †1545), 1514 castellan of Kowal; 1523 - of Inowrocław; 1526-1535 - of Łęczyca; 1535-1538 - of Kalisz; 1538 voivode of Inowrocław; 1540 - of Brześć Kujawski; 1542 - of Łęczyca; 1529 envoy of the Crown diet to Lithuania, to king Sigismund I Jagiellon (Urzędnicy 1/2) de Reverendissima Dominatione Vestra, ex quibus abunde voluntatem illius cognoscet. Non minus etiam Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram rogo, ut omnem cogitationem suam intendat, quo possit cum illo in gratiam redire. Nihil enim est senatoriae dignitati convenientius, nihil reipublicae salutare magis, quam eos, quorum consiliis gubernatur, amica inter se coniunctione frui.

Commendo me amori Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae. Quam bene valere cupio.
