Says his thanks to Brodarics for sending copies of letters received from Hungary to him. - 2. He will write the requested letter concerning the Jews today and will send them to Brodarics tomorrow; he has already written on this matter to Bishops of Trident and Boroszló, however, he is ready to write to anybody else, if Brodarics wishes so. Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine Frater et Amice Carissime ac Honorande. [1.] Magnas ago et habeo gratias Vestrae Reverendissimae Dominationi, quod heri ad vesperum litterarum, quas ex Hungária accepit, copiam mihi fecerit, quas ego hodie 5 istinc discedens ad illam remisi. [2.] Quod ad litteras in commendationem ludeorum attinet, hodie hic illas scribam, et scriptas ac obsignatas cras ad Dominationem Vestram Reverendissimam mittam. Nam unum tantum scribam hic mecum habeo, ego vero die Mercurii Deo bene iuvante istuc revertar.

The volume from which it was uncovered contains undated letters and gives no further point of reference. The replica in the Naruszewicz Collections dates it 21 June 1529. This is supported by Tomicki’s reference to letters that Brodarics got from Hungary the day before and forwarded to him. Tomicki sent these back. This means that the distance between them could not be big, so Brodarics must have been staying in Poland when the letter was written. This is valid only for June 1528 or 1529. Since it is clear from Tomicki’s correspondence that he spent June 1528 in Bodzentyn near KJelce, June 1529 is the only possibility. He says in the letter that he has travelled to Bolechowice, near Cracow, for a short rest and intends to return on Wednesday, i.e. on 23 June. According to the documents in the volume XI of AT Tomicki dates several other letters from Cracow on 20 June 1529, Sunday, and he writes from there again on 24 June, Thursday. This seems to support the idea that he could write to Brodarics, who was in Cracow, from Bolechovice on 21 June and he returned two days later. 2 Draft.
