Cornelis DE SCHEPPER to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Bruges], [1531, the second half of April or the beginning of May]

English register:

De Schepper is staying at his home, where the Archbishop of Lund [Johan Weze] is his guest. They both have some trouble with their bowels, which Gdańsk beer could easily resolve. De Schepper's wife [Elisabeth Donche] apologises because she left without being able to greet Dantiscus. For the rest no actions have been taken.
