[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Hieronymus AURIMONTANUS (GÜRTLER von Wildenberg)]
Löbau (Lubawa), 1537-12-02

English register: Dantiscus asks the addressee to come to Lubawa as soon as possible, because he is leaving for Lidzbark soon and would first like to discuss school issues with him. Moreover, Dantiscus wants the addressee to undertake to treat his mother, who is in Lubawa suffering from a cough and fever. Dantiscus tells the addressee to get horses and other things necessary for the journey from the administrator in Starogród. He promises to pay him well.
