Dantiscus praises Giese’s reply to the letter from the King [Sigismund I Jagiellon]. He shares the addressee’s suspicions regarding the matters discussed in the King’s memorandum. He feels helpless in the face of the fact that fate has sent them [Stanisław Kostka], to whose influence he also attributes the admonitions of the Queen [Bona Sforza]. Meanwhile, he feels comforted by the King’s kind letter.

He would like to repay Giese by sending correspondence addressed to himself, but he has to reply to it first. He will send a messenger to the court with his own and Giese’s letters within three days.

It is unnecessary for the addressee to thank him for recommending him to the Vice-Chancellor [Samuel Maciejowski]. Dantiscus does not doubt they will find a friend and patron in him.

Dantiscus is grateful to Giese for reading his poem [Carmen paraeneticum ad Constantem Alliopagum], but he would have prefered to receive more corrections. He would be glad if Giese were right in his opinion regarding [the unnecessary excuses contained in] the introduction (proclesis) to the piece, but he is aware of his own limitations. He also explains that the fragments which seem unnecessary to Giese are a response to works he was sent previously. He has decided to refrain from publishing the poem until its addressee and inspiration [Eustachy Knobelsdorf] replies from Wittenberg.

Dantiscus demands a more exhaustive reply from Giese to his last letter.

He promises to return the records from the Cracow Diet [of the Kingdom of Poland] to Giese soon.
