Letter #1740

[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to [Jan CHOJEŃSKI]
[Graudenz (Grudziądz)], [1537-10-04]

English register: Dantiscus informs Chojeński that, with great difficulty, the Prussian assembly reached a consensus the previous evening on the matter of tax, while today it will be setting the tax on beer and barley, which means the sessions will not have been fruitless, as was the case with the previous five assemblies.
