Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
s.l., [1528-09-09 — 1528-12-17 or 1529-04-20 — 1529-07-27 or 1529-08-12 — 1529-10-10 or 1530-03-01 — 1530-04-19 or 1530-10-01 — 1530-11-28]

English register:

Valdés accepts Dantiscus’ excuses and promises to visit him if he can; if not, he asks to be excused, too. He writes that there is no need for Lewicki to come to him – he will handle the matter perfectly well by himself.

Salutem.

Admittimus iustissimam tuam excusationem. Veniam ego ad te, si tamen commode potero, sin autem, me tu vicissim excusatum habebis. Non opus est, ut Jan Lewicki (†1555), before 1522 sollicitator for Primate Jan Łaski's affairs in Rome, 1522 Latin secretary to Queen Bona Sforza; ca. 1524 Cantor in Płock; 1535 superintendent of Płock cathedral; 1535 presented to the parish in Biała and to the canonry of St. Michael's collegiate church in Płock; 1538 Commendatory Abbot of the monastery of Canons Regular of the Lateran in Czerwińsk; Queen's envoy to Charles V of Habsburg (POCIECHA 2, p. 96-97)⌊LeviciusJan Lewicki (†1555), before 1522 sollicitator for Primate Jan Łaski's affairs in Rome, 1522 Latin secretary to Queen Bona Sforza; ca. 1524 Cantor in Płock; 1535 superintendent of Płock cathedral; 1535 presented to the parish in Biała and to the canonry of St. Michael's collegiate church in Płock; 1538 Commendatory Abbot of the monastery of Canons Regular of the Lateran in Czerwińsk; Queen's envoy to Charles V of Habsburg (POCIECHA 2, p. 96-97)⌋ ad me veniat.
