Jan MECKLER to Ioannes DANTISCUS before 1531-12-06, CIDTC IDL 7321, letter lost⌋ Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati de meis obsequiis ad quaevis studia [obe]unda paratissimum perscripserim, veror tamen, ne huiusmodi aliquo casu latorum indiligentia detentae sint, eo quod nihil litterarum Vestra Reverendissima <Paternitas> , modo privatim, ad me scripsit. Tamen quod litteris domini Georgii Vestra Reverendissima Paternitas salutatione plurimum salvere fecerit, et id quidem nullis meis vel meritis, vel famulatibus. Pro qua Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati et dignas, et magnas gratias tamquam domino meo gratiosissimo habeo atque ago. Propterea rursus nihil aliud Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati scribo, saltem quod ego cum Kulm Chapter ⌊confratribus meisKulm Chapter ⌋ carissimis maiorem in modum Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitatis auspicatissimum ad nos adventum in dies avide praestolamur. Deus faxit Omnipotens, ut et nobis, et patriae quam celerrime in consolamen sit adventura. Id ut factum fuerit, Deum immortalem meis indignis precibus humillime sum exoraturus.

Novi Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati communicare queo nihil, tantummodo quod omnes hic apud nos propria libertate (omni iure posthabito) gaudere volunt. De quibus permulta Vestrae Reverendissimae Paternitati scribenda essent.

Cum his Vestram Reverendissimam Paternitatem sanam et incolumem in longissima tempora valere exopto. Cui me unice commissum dedo et elargior.
