Postscript:

In novis nihil habeo, nisi quod fertur Diet of Poland ⌊conventum PytercoviensemDiet of Poland ⌋ solutum esse. Si quid autem apud Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram exstet, potissime quibus officia defuncti domini castellani Cracoviensis distributa sint, mihi impartiri dignetur. Cum nuntius meus, ut has secum ferret, ocreatus esset, venit subditus meus nobilis Fridericus de Houen, praesentium exhibitor, asserens se de familia et insigniis esse Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationis, plurimum me rogans, quo se Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae diligenter commendarem, quod quidem actu nunc facio, tametsi ipsum sciam, si ita est, ut ipse asserit, sanguinis necessitatisque iure Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi esse commendatissimum, oro tamen, ut et nostro intuitu Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio eum ita tractare velit, quo etiam ex nostra commendatione sibi aliquid favoris et benevolentiae accrevisse intelligat. Pollicitus est nobis, quod recto itinere vult petere Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram, alioqui has, ut dixi, proprio misissem nuntio. Datae ut a tergo raptim.
