Graudenz (Grudziądz), 1537-10-01

He asks the king to attach a letter of recommendation to the documents he will soon be sending to Rome in order to obtain the papal provision. Dantiscus informs the king that the Prussian assembly heard out royal envoy Mikołaj Nipszyc and passed resolutions in accordance with the king’s will. Dantiscus promises he will make sure the resolutions are implemented.
