Letter #5756

Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
s.l., [1528-09 – 1528-12-17?]

English register:

Valdés admires poems Dantiscus keeps giving him. He agrees with Dantiscus that Cato [Lodewijk van Praet] has a slightly uncouth mind; he jokingly reproaches Dantiscus for wasting his talent on writing poems about this. He informs him that the letter Dantiscus requested is already awaiting the emperor’s signature. Valdés will be happy to have Dantiscus as his guest or he himself will come to visit him.
