Ioannes Dantiscus etc. Ioachimo Vadiano etc. salutem.

Cum nuper peregrinandi, ut nostri dicunt, causa per The Swiss ⌊HelvetiosThe Swiss ⌋, ubique Te quaerebam, irem, nemo fuit, qui, ubi esses aut ageres, me edocere potuit. Pro summo meo in Te amore, quo Te plus quam dici potest prosequor, Te libenter convenissem.
