Dantiscus proposes that all the [Prussian] lords confer and provide a joint reply to the letter he has received from the Duke [Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach]. Among other things, in this letter Albrecht questions the justifiability of grain being held [in Gdańsk] and declares he will not let any [Polish] ship carrying grain leave his port [in Königsberg]. Knowing that Giese has received a similar letter from Albrecht, Dantiscus does not quote the other matters discussed in the letter. He will send a copy of [the Duke’s] letter to the people of Gdańsk and Elbing, and enjoins Giese to notify the people of Thorn.

He would like to manage the matter in such a way that the Duke does not have to send envoys to the next [Prussian] assembly and that they will not be forced to conclude new treaties with him, something the Duke is demanding separately of Dantiscus.
