I. They wrote to Sigismund earlier that they have arrived in Lemberg hut were waiting far certain information from King John. John ordered them to visit Jan Tarnowski and ask for 1000 cavalrymen and 500foot- soldiers as well as for Captain Zbigniew Slupecki with 500 archers. However. Tarnowski cannot do anything without the King's permission, so now they are asking Sigismund to allow his subjects, even captains, to enter service of Szapolyai freely, because there is a need for experienced officers. - 2. Szapolyai writes that Transylvanians received him cordially when he was in Tárad and will do everything to support and help him. Radio and the Serbs also remained loyal to him. - J. Szapolyai was doing well in Slavonia too. until his commander there. Kristóf Frangepán. died in an unfortunate manner in the siege of Variad. - 4. It is said that the Voivod of Wullachia also supports the King with money and troops, so not all hope has been lost. - 5. King John sent teaki to Venice, but he is travelling via Constantinople.
