Officiosissimam servitutis meae commendationem.

Satis mirari non possum, quod neque Psittacus huc advolavit, neque Mauricius.

Quid ibi actum sit, nihildum scimus.

Apud nos nova haec sunt: episcopum Posnaniensem habemus dominum regni cancellarium, qui statim ut est renuntiatus episcopus, sigillum maius, quod habebat, regiae maiestati, quae iam convalescit, tradidit. Cui dabitur, nescio. In comitiis regni, Deo bene iuvante, cognoscemus. Castellanus Radomiensis factus est frater reverendissimi domini, dominus Stanislaus Matziieowski, qui fuit antea Sarnoviensis.

Ex Hungaria quae sunt allata, mitto. Matrimonium bene procedit. Comitia magni ducatus nondum coepta sunt. Exspectatur dignitatum et officiorum distributio.

Servet Deus diu incolumem Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram. Cuius me gratiae commendo.
