Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
s.l., [1528-09-09 — 1528-12-17 or 1529-04-20 — 1529-07-27 or 1529-08-12 — 1529-10-10 or 1530-03-01 — 1530-04-19 or 1530-10-01 — 1530-11-28]

English register:

Valdés thanks Dantiscus for the gifts and informs him that he has found some pages Dantiscus forgot in the book. He says there is no reason for him to advise him about matters regarding the queen because nothing has been arranged yet, and because he doesn’t know what Dantiscus is seeking from the emperor at present. The thought that Lewicki could doubt his words worries him. He sends his regards to the poet.
