Cum exspectassem hactenus Thorn Town Council ⌊dominorum ThorunensiumThorn Town Council ⌋ responsum, accurrit hodie pedester illorum nuntius litteras afferens, quae inspectae, repertae sunt Włocławek Chapter ⌊capitulo VladislaviensiWłocławek Chapter ⌋ non mihi inscriptae, per errorem, ut puto, commutatis litteris.
