Ioannes DANTISCUS to Alfonso de VALDÉS
[Ghent (Gandavum)], [1531-04-13 or shortly after]

English register:

Dantiscus sends Valdés a letter he received from Cornelis [De Schepper], asking what his reply should be. He discusses the details of dinner – since Valdés doesn’t like fish, he invites him for meat; he writes that if Valdés doesn’t come the dinner will take place anyway, even if it is to be a prandium Camillinum.
