Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Augsburg?], [1530-06-26 — 1530-07-30?]

English register:

Valdés would greatly like to visit Dantiscus if he had time to spare. He will pass his invitation on to master Cobos, but reminds him that the man cannot stand a feast without girls. Valdés suggests that if he feels too old for such things, Dantiscus should task young Cornelis [De Schepper] with getting some girls.

Utinam per otium liceret venire ad te, nihil eram libentius facturus Ceterum domino Covos tuam animi promptitudinem significabo, tametsi scias hominem non passurum, ut convivium absque puellis fiat. Quare, tu senex si illas pollicere non potes, id negotii domino Cornelio manda, iuveni et imberbi.

Vale.
