Ioannes DANTISCUS to Tiedemann GIESEHeilsberg (Lidzbark Warmiński), 1538-08-06
English register:
To Dantiscus’ surprise, since he considers himself to be heftier than Giese, the measurement Giese sent for the rochet is longer than for his own. Their feet are the same size. In the meantime, Dantiscus is sending a shorter rochet, and if needed will supply a longer one.

Reverendissimo Domino Tidemanno Gise, confirmato Culmensi, fratri et amico carissimo ac honorando
Reverendissime Domine, frater et amice carissime ac honorande.
Salutem fraterniq[ue] amoris commendationem.
Mensuram rocheti meis, quos egoque fero, applicui eosque illa superat longitudine. Mitto igitur rochetum breviorem, quod si personae Dominationis Vestrae Reverendissimae conveniet usque ad medias suras, retineat, sin vero remittat, habitura a me longiorem. Mensura sandaliorum mea etiam aequat, quod sum admiratus, cum longe sim corpore vastior, fieri potest, quod protensione pedum simus pares, corporis proceritate non item. Velim itaque me ex ea dubitatione Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima explicet.
Cui opto bonam diuturnamque valetudinem, beneficam prolixamque felicitatem.
Ex Heilsberg, VI Augusti MDXXXVIII.
Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae frater integerrimus Ioannes episcopus Varmiensis scripsit
