Venerabilis Domine, frater et amice carissime. Salutem et omnem felicitatem.

Accepi ab hoc nuntio Dominationis Vestrae litteras, praeterea et alias pauloante, quibus me pro sua in me benevolentia commonet, ut inceptum negotium accuratius prosequerer et, quid per illum cubicularium in Livonia (Livland, Inflanty), estate of Livonian Order, today part of Latvia and Estonia⌊LivoniamLivonia (Livland, Inflanty), estate of Livonian Order, today part of Latvia and Estonia⌋ missum sit actum, significarem. Quod vero ad priores non responderim hucusque, in causa non fuit aliud, quam expectatio nuntii mei, quem XX praeteriti Octobris ad Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria⌊maiestatem regiamSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria⌋ misi, cum quo Fabian Wojanowski (Fabian of Dąbrówka, Fabian Damerau) (†1540), courtier of King Sigismund I Jagiellon and Queen Bona Sforza, German tutor to their son Sigismund II Augustus. In 1531 he went back to his family name Damerau; Dantiscus' companion on his mission to Emperor Charles V and his successor as a royal envoy at the Imperial court; 1539-1540 Canon of Ermland (Warmia) (from 1538 coadiutor of Henryk von Snellenberg by Dantiscus' patronage) (KOPICZKO 2, p. 49; SBKW, p. 37)⌊Fabiano a WoynoFabian Wojanowski (Fabian of Dąbrówka, Fabian Damerau) (†1540), courtier of King Sigismund I Jagiellon and Queen Bona Sforza, German tutor to their son Sigismund II Augustus.

Distuli igitur usque ad nuntii mei reditum scriptionem ad Dominationem Vestram, ut certi aliquid responderem. Quem adhuc in horas expecto. Quamprimum huc appulerit, nihil earum rerum Dominationem Vestram celabo, quas secum feret. Neque ante illius reditum quicquam apud me de profectione ad Diet of Poland ⌊regni comitiaDiet of Poland ⌋ firmi statuere possum, ex qua modis omnibus ob causas et rationes plurimas absolvi velim. Quod, si fieri non poterit, ferendum erit, quod mutari nequit etc.

Scripserat mihi Dominatio Vestra in prioribus de probably Paweł Płotowski (*ca. 1485 – †1547), in 1523, after the death of Fabian von Lusian (Luzjański), Płotowski was one of the King's four candidates for the post of the bishop of Ermland; in 1530 and 1537, after the death of Jan Konopacki (Johann von Konopat) Sr and Dantiscus' transfer to the bishopric of Ermland, he made an effort to obtain the dignity of bishop of Kulm; from 1522 Provost of the Ermland (Warmia) Chapter, and from 1523 Canon of Ermland; secretary to Crown Grand Chancellor Krzysztof Szydłowiecki, and from 1533 royal secretary and courtier; in the thirties and forties several times royal envoy to the Royal Prussian Estates (SBKW, p. 191; KOPICZKO 2, p. 249-250)⌊vestro praepositoprobably Paweł Płotowski (*ca. 1485 – †1547), in 1523, after the death of Fabian von Lusian (Luzjański), Płotowski was one of the King's four candidates for the post of the bishop of Ermland; in 1530 and 1537, after the death of Jan Konopacki (Johann von Konopat) Sr and Dantiscus' transfer to the bishopric of Ermland, he made an effort to obtain the dignity of bishop of Kulm; from 1522 Provost of the Ermland (Warmia) Chapter, and from 1523 Canon of Ermland; secretary to Crown Grand Chancellor Krzysztof Szydłowiecki, and from 1533 royal secretary and courtier; in the thirties and forties several times royal envoy to the Royal Prussian Estates (SBKW, p. 191; KOPICZKO 2, p. 249-250)⌋, quem sic, ut Dominationi Vestrae visum est, relinquendum censeo, ne putet a se dependere omnia.
