Letter #3861

[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Achatius TRENCK]
Löbau (Lubawa), 1537-11-17

English register: Dantiscus is replying to Trenck’s letter. He thanks the Chapter for their concern in wanting to organize his journey to Lidzbark but, as he has informed Tiedemann Giese in a letter, he plans to travel through Gietrzwałd and Dobre Miasto and not – as the Chapter expects him to – through Olsztyn. Dantiscus promises that once he is ready to set off, he will inform Trenck of the exact date of his departure.

[1] This is probably Gietrzwałd (correct German name: Dietrichswald), where Dantiscus usually stopped on his way from Lubawa to Lidzbark.
