Magnifice Domine, amice carissime et honorande.

Salutem et omni[s] felicitatis accessum.

Cum duo isti musici servitores mei permissu meo, ut parentes suos inviserent, per domini[u]m Magnificentiae Vestrae sint ituri, nolui committere, quin illam prosperamque eius valetudinem iis meis litter[is] inviserem, congratulando Magnificentiae Vestrae , quod ex Lithuania⌊LituaniaLithuania⌋, utinam rebus suis ex sententi[a] in aula regia confectis, sospes redierit.

Hucus[que] non sine amicissimo desiderio in adventus Magnificentiae Vestrae expecta[turus] fui, quam unacum affine suo, magnifico domino Jan Kościelecki (Janusz Kościelecki) (*ca. 1490 – †1545), 1514 castellan of Kowal; 1523 - of Inowrocław; 1526-1535 - of Łęczyca; 1535-1538 - of Kalisz; 1538 voivode of Inowrocław; 1540 - of Brześć Kujawski; 1542 - of Łęczyca; 1529 envoy of the Crown diet to Lithuania, to king Sigismund I Jagiellon (Urzędnicy 1/2)⌊palat[ino] BrzestensiJan Kościelecki (Janusz Kościelecki) (*ca. 1490 – †1545), 1514 castellan of Kowal; 1523 - of Inowrocław; 1526-1535 - of Łęczyca; 1535-1538 - of Kalisz; 1538 voivode of Inowrocław; 1540 - of Brześć Kujawski; 1542 - of Łęczyca; 1529 envoy of the Crown diet to Lithuania, to king Sigismund I Jagiellon (Urzędnicy 1/2)⌋, iter per ditionem meam facturam existimabam, oppido quam libentissime illam apud me hic vidissem et pro mea tenuitate, q[uantum] potuissem, humanitatis officio tractassem. Quod qu[a] de re non successit, non velit gravari me Magnificentia V[estra] certiorem reddere. Quod si non tam laute tamq[ue] splendide, ut apud illustrem dominum Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 to his death Duke in Prussia as a liegeman of the Polish king; son of Friedrich V of Brandenburg der Ältere and Sophia Jagiellon (daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon), nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the university in Königsberg (1544)⌊ducem vicinum me[um]Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach (Albrecht von Brandenburg) (*1490 – †1568), 1511-1525 Grand Master of the Teutonic Order; from 1525 to his death Duke in Prussia as a liegeman of the Polish king; son of Friedrich V of Brandenburg der Ältere and Sophia Jagiellon (daughter of Casimir IV Jagiellon), nephew of Sigismund I, King of Poland; founder of the university in Königsberg (1544)⌋ excepta fuisset, propensio tamen mihi non defuisset ad omnem exhibendum honorem ac benevolentiam Magnificentiae Vestrae.

Quam diutissime feliciter valere ex animo cupi[o].
