Letter #5785

Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Granada], [ca. 1526-09-17]

English register:

Valdés intended to drop everything in order to have dinner with Dantiscus, but this proved impossible. He hopes there will be another opportunity. Master … (name omitted in the copies) asks to be sent the instrumentum of the emperor’s letter to the pope. If Dantiscus hasn’t made a copy yet, Valdés will send him one.
