Löbau (Lubawa), 1546-12-01

English register: Martinus Kyszeweter and the Observants from Löbau extend thanks for the letter and generous alms. They promise to repay the kindness by celebrating, in accordance with Dantiscus’ wishes, a thirty-day service for the dead. Afterwards as well, they will always remember him in their prayers. Stephanus Tobie, the writer of the letter, sends Dantiscus special greetings.
