Letter #5786

Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Brussels?], [1531, autumn?]

English register:

Valdés discusses the details of the dinner planned in Dantiscus’ garden for the next day – he informs Dantiscus that he will be there himself, as well as Barrensis [Esteban Gabriel Merino?], while Cobos(?) has made the excuse that the limits of moderation are always exceeded at Dantiscus’, while he prefers to do this eating meat and not fish.

Salutem.

Egi apud Barrensem et Couum, ut cras in horto tuo pranderent. Barrensis venturus est, Couus autem ait fieri non posse, quin apud te sobrietatis solitae fines transgrediatur idque mavult cum carnibus quam cum piscibus fiat. Dabimus operam, ut hospites nobiscum (si fieri potest) adducamus, sin autem, ipsi veniemus.

Vale.
