Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) Chapter
Heilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1540-09-17

English register:

Dantiscus forwards the Duke’s [Albrecht I von Hohenzollern-Ansbach] reply to the Chapter [regarding the letter on mill construction and congestion on the Passarge (Pasłęka) River]. He assumes that the Chapter has received a reply to their letter of similar content. Dantiscus advises against delaying action on this matter and assures the Chapter of his support.
