Ioannes DANTISCUS to Ermland (Warmia) Chapter
Heilsberg (Lidzbark), 1541-03-21

English register: At the recent request of the chapter, Dantiscus reminded the duke [Albrecht I van Hohenzollern], both in writing and through the duke’s envoy, Johann Lohmüller, of the need to send a delegation to inspect the construction of a mill, which extends all the way to the bank [of the Passarge (Pasłęka) River], which belongs to the chapter. He will inform the addressees of the duke’s response and promises not to neglect the matter.
