Dantiscus to Valdesius:

Thanks for having communicated Loffredo’s letter: also thanks for efforts in re Monteserici, quod bonus Levitius sine mandato oratorio fungens munere Neapoli rem tractaverit.

I wanted to invite you ad prandium but the weather is too bad: tomorrow I dine with the orator Anglus.

Hope to see him afterwards with Camillo ad prandium.
