Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, amice praestantissime et frater plurimum observande.

Salutem omniumque rerum successus felices vehementer Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae opto.

Statuebam proprium mittere nuntium, sic 13 huius ad me venit nuntius domini Mikołaj Działyński (Nikolaus von Dzialin) (†1545), from 1507 royal courtier; 1510-1528 Chamberlain of Dobrzyń; 1528-1544 Castellan of Kulm (Chełmno); 1544-1545 Voivode of Pomerania; Starosta of Bratian, Strasburg in Preussen (Brodnica), and Dobrzyń (PSB 6, p. 92-94; Urzędnicy 5/2, p. 204)⌊castellani CulmensisMikołaj Działyński (Nikolaus von Dzialin) (†1545), from 1507 royal courtier; 1510-1528 Chamberlain of Dobrzyń; 1528-1544 Castellan of Kulm (Chełmno); 1544-1545 Voivode of Pomerania; Starosta of Bratian, Strasburg in Preussen (Brodnica), and Dobrzyń (PSB 6, p. 92-94; Urzędnicy 5/2, p. 204)⌋ adferens mihi nonnulla remedia, quibus ipse utitur adversus afflictionem calculi, cum quo scribere tunc fecimus, quae mentem movebant.

Nunc vero his inclusis destino, ut Dominatio Vestra Reverendissima cognoscat, quid in novis mihi patefecit dominus ... de abitione Sigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria⌊maiestatis regiaeSigismund I Jagiellon (Zygmunt I) (*1467 – †1548), King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania (1506-1548); Duke of Głogów (Glogau) (1499-1506), Duke of Opava (1501-1506), Governor of Silesia (1504-1506); son of King Kazimierz IV Jagiellon and Elisabeth of Austria⌋, puto autem Vestram Reverendissimam <Dominationem>, quando e Vilnius (Wilno, Vilna), city in Lithuania, on the Vilnia river, capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania⌊VilnaVilnius (Wilno, Vilna), city in Lithuania, on the Vilnia river, capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania⌋ pedem moverit, certissimam per ipsius nuntium factam esse, et non arbitramur, quo Vestra Reverendissima <Dominatio> cum suis collegis indigeat acceleratione veloci ad hoc Diet of Poland ⌊Cracoviensem conventumDiet of Poland ⌋, quomodo me praesente Pruteni cum suis negotiis semper novissimi fuerint auditi. Idcirco arbitror, quod satis tempestive auspicabitur iter suum Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio pro 1536-11-25⌊festo sanctae Catharinae1536-11-25⌋ vel circiter, si autem citius aut tardius hoc aggredi statuerit, hoc mihi indicare cum praesenti nuntio cupio. Mittam quempiam ex meis ad ipsam, quod litteris grave est ad explicandum, quo oretenus, id referat etc.

Mitto nunc unum canterium, alios missurus, quando hoc Vestra Reverendissima Dominatio postulaverit, de quo extensius hunc(!) meus puer ex commissione mea Reverendissimae Dominationi Vestrae exponet.

Quam in longum aevum felicemque, reditum felicem et faustum, sanamque ad vota in cunctis vivere cupio.
