Letter #4829

Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) Chapter
Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1541-06-25

English register:

With his previous letter to the chapter, sent on 20 June, Dantiscus enclosed a letter [authored jointly by himself and the chapter] to the duke [Albrecht I von Hohenzollern], intended to be forwarded to the addressee. In the meantime, he has received a new letter from the duke, which he now sends to the chapter along with a copy of his own reply. He asks that the duke’s letter be returned to him. He declares his support and assistance should the chapter deem it appropriate to write anything further to Albrecht.

Ioannes Dei gratia episcopus Varmiensis

Venerabiles Domini, fratres sincere dilecti.

Scripsimus XX-a huius una cum litteris, quae ad illustrissimum dominum ducem vicinum nostrum mitti debuerant. Eas iam Fraternitates Vestras accepisse arbitramur. Interim nobis adiunctae sunt redditae, quas Fraternitates Vestrae remittent. Quid illis respondea written over ri⌈riaa written over ri⌉mus, ex scheda accipient. Si aliud quippiam eo scribendum putaverint, propensionem et operam nostram Fraternitatibus Vestris non gravate offerimus.

Quas feliciter valere optamus.

Ex arce nostra Heilsberg, XXV Iunii MDXLI.
