Letter #5791

Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Brussels?], shortly before [1531?]-11-11

English register:

Valdés sends Dantiscus some Martinianum wine from Barrensis [Esteban Gabriel Merino] for the feast of St. Martin. Barrensis says that if Dantiscus doesn’t send for it every day, he will send him a cartful. Valdés is returning the letters of Erasmus [there could be originals or any letters published in print] as well as a few of his own and the archdeacon’s [Francisco de Mendoza y Bobadilla?]. He encourages Dantiscus to read the letters as he waits for him to come and visit.

Salutem.

Martinianum vinum ad Martinianum festum celebrandum mitto. Quid dixi – mitto? Immo Barrensis mittit vultque, ut singulo quoque die, quantum velis, de eo habeas, et, ni ipse miseris, iussit, ut totum plaustrum ad te veniat.

Epistolas Erasmi remitto et cum his aliquot meas et mei archidiaconi, ne sit, quod merito mecum expostulare possis aut debeas.

Vale et lege nostras, nondum ipse venio.

Rursum vale.
