Letter #2472
[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to UNKNOWN [Ermland (Warmia) Canon]Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1541-07-26
English register:
The day before, Dantiscus received both a messenger from the addressee and a letter from Dantiscus’ nephew Kaspar [Hannau] in Rome, containing the awaited materials. Dantiscus asks the addressee to offer an opinion on them.
He considers the presence of the addressee at the boundary revision meeting indispensable, as he has more experience than Georg [Donner? Preucken?]. Dantiscus would be very pleased if the addressee, through his brother or others, could persuade the duke [Albrecht von Hohenzollern] to abandon this matter. Dantiscus is aware of the consequences to which this revision will lead.
He encloses a copy of his response to Dietrich [von Rheden’s] letter. He leaves it to the addressee’s judgment whether to send Dietrich von Rheden the royal mandates and the king’s letters to the pope [Paul III] and the cardinal [Antonio Pucci]. In Dantiscus’s opinion, they would cause apprehension rather than give him courage.
He asks that the remaining letters addressed to the Ermland (Warmia) canons be forwarded to them.
In a postscript, he mentions that the previous day he received the enclosed news. He also notes that the addressee has not replied to him regarding the eels.

BCz, 245, p. 283Commodum heri puer Dominationis Vestrae appulit, cum mihi annexae ex Urbe a nepote Casparo sunt allatae cum omnibus adiunctis, ex quibus non pauca, quae hucusque desideravimus, cognoscet et, quo(modo) placuerint, omnia copiose rescribet.
Ad lustrandos limites praesentia Dominationis Vestrae est necessaria, quae iis in rebus plus, quam dominus Georgius, versata est. Si posset vel per fratrem, aut quoscumque alios efficere, ut ab hoc coepto dominus dux abducatur, et mihi, et sibi gratum faciet Dominatio Vestra. Non est mihi ignotum, quorsum spectet ea lustratio.
