Letter #2374

[Ioannes DANTISCUS] to Jakob [von BARTHEN]
Heilsberg (Lidzbark), [1541-07-15]

English register:

Dantiscus encloses his letter to Cornelis De Schepper, in which he promised his friend some local beer. He asks the addressee to select, purchase, and send to Bruges, as before, three barrels of the finest beer. He will cover the costs with a surplus.

He reports that the sealed belongings left by the deceased [Andreas] Stobius are still in Heilsberg (Lidzbark). He advises that Barthen should admonish the deceased man’s brother [Simon Krautsschult] to come here, and also to reach an agreement with him regarding the personal effects and belongings of the deceased.

Salutem.

Mi carissime domine Iacobe.

Scripsi in adiunctis carissimo fratri meo, domino Cornelio Sceppero, quod ei mitto tria vasa nostratis cerevisiae. Quae ut tu, melioris, qui haberi possit, saporis, meo nomine coemas et, quemadmodum priora, ad illum perduci Brugis cures, impense a te peto. Quicquid impenderis, etiam cum faenore, quamprimum me de eo certiorem reddes, reddi committam. Qua in re mihi plurimum gratificaberis, immo et non parum me tibi devinctum, si diligenter rem promoveris, efficies.

Ceterum res Stobii nostri, cui aeternam precor requiem, adhuc occlusae hic habentur. Commonebis eius fratrem, ut huc se conferat, et quod tua interest, cum eo componas.

Bene vale.
