Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Augsburg?], [1530-10 — 1530-11-22?]

English register:

Valdés forgot to inform Dantiscus sooner that he had been invited to dinner at Scipio’s [di Somma’s?] yesterday and today. He went unwillingly but was afraid to offend Scipio with a refusal. He will do what he can as regards the Canonitildum. Valdés doesn’t know what Lewicki(?, cf. footnote No. 3) can expect, he suspects the emperor has forgotten about his matter. Valdés encloses the decrees Dantiscus requested.

Salutem.

Et heri et hodie oblitus sum tibi significare Scipionem nostrum me ad prandium vocasse. Ego, ut ingenue fatear, neque securo animo neque libenter veni, sed nolui recusare, ne crederet me illi parum amicum, sed de his alias. Ceterum in re Canonitildum faciam, quod potero, sed scis, quam simus diligentes in expediendis negotiis. Quid a caesare sperare debeat Levitius, nescio, et fortassis non erit memor illius.

Decretationes, quas petis, ad te mittam et vale.
