Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1540-09-17

English register: Dantiscus sends the Chapter the Duke’s [Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach] reply to the letter [on mill construction and congestion on Passarge (Pasłęka) river]; he presumes that the Chapter received a reply to their letter with a similar content. He recommends that this matter not be neglected by delay and declares his help.
