Dantiscus Vadiano suo salutem.

Si in vivis es, scire vehementer cupio. Litterae meae Te viderunt saepius, Tuas vidi numquam. Si igitur cum manibus non agis, fac sciam cum primis, ubi gentium sis, ut aliquando vel ab aliis, quomodo vales, quid negotii tractes, intelligam. Amor in Te meus ab eo, quo coepit tempore, in dies crescit. Quem erga me geris animum, mihi ambiguum est, quia hactenus tacuisti. Effeta et si in vivis es, rescribe.
