Alfonso de VALDÉS to Ioannes DANTISCUS
[Madrid, or Mantua, or Augsburg], [shortly after 1528-09-09 or 1530, March/April, or ca. 1530-10, possibly also 1531/1532]

English register:

Valdés thanks Dantiscus for the gift. He is glad to hear of Lewicki’s (?, cf. footnote No. 1) safe arrival. He would have come to dinner with Dantiscus but Granvelle invited him first to discuss some matters, so he’ll come after dinner or before supper.

Salutem.

Misisti mihi munus sane adeo gratum, ut gratius nihil mittere potueris, pro quo tibi nescio quibus verbis debitas gratias agam, acturus alias coram ingentes. Levitium salvum advenisse gaudeo. Nisi me Granvilla hodie ad prandium vocasset tractaturus nescio quae negotia, venissem ad te, sed cum id fieri non possit, veniam a prandio vel fortassis ad caenam.

Vale.
