[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Stanisław HOZJUSZ (HOSIUS)]
Löbau (Lubawa), 1537-04-17

English register: Dantiscus is replying to Hozjusz’s letter of March 7. He thanks Hozjusz for his renewed declarations of goodwill and in return assures him that he will always support his plans. He informs Hozjusz that a few days before, he spoke about his affairs with representatives of the Warmia Chapter (Tiedemann Giese and Felix Reich). He thanks him for his news, and in the name of friendship asks for more, as extensive as possible. He also asks Hozjusz to recommend him every day to his superior, the Płock bishop (Grand Chancellor Jan Chojeński).
