Muy Magnifico Señor

No quisiera que Vuestra Señoria fuera el primero que comencara por mucho aunque lo pudiera aver hecho muy bien sin perjuyzio de mi honrra por averse co<n>fichado de alla mensajero primero que de aca. Mas tanbien digo que no querria ganar tanta honrra que me dexase de escrivir porque seria muy mayor el deseo de saber de su muy magnifica persona y la perdida del rregozijo de sus cartas y el dolor de pensar que ya no se acuerda de sus seruvidores. Mas si amor est doctor amoris, yo estoy desto satisfecho.

Yo estoy muy bueno ytem su servidor como sienpre de mi corason y pretesto que sienpre terne este cuydado de escrivir a Vuestra Señoría desde aqui y desde la America, the continentNueva EspañaAmerica, the continent y de mas adelante si pasare. Vuestra Señoría me haga merced de pagarme en la misma moneda. Y sea mas largo que yo escrivo a lo menos agora porque quando este donde aya que escrivir yo lo hare y tanto que antes de trabajo que no me rreprehenda de acto y de alla sienpre avra que escrivir. Quando me escriviere venga dirigido a miçer Hieronymus Sailer (Hieronymus Seiler) (*1495 – †1559), in 1524 agent of the Welsers' company in Spain, and later, from 1528, in Venezuela. After his return to Europe, he dealt with the Welsers' affairs at the Spanish court, in 1540 he became their agent in Antwerp.
