Magnifice Domine uti Fili Carissime. Servitiorum meorum commendationem.

[1.] Tanta scripsi his diebus et totiens assidue, ut nescio, quid aliud iam scribam fessus et scribendo et exspectando. Rogo, hortor, moneo, obsecro unacum domino Colo- censi, aut Strigoniensi potius,2 ut exspectationi de te regiae maiestatis, domini nostri 5 clementissimi et domini gubernatoris satis facias, idque quamprimum.

De argentariis etiam scripsi,3 si quae haberi possunt, sed quod facere vis, facias cito.

[2.] Fratrem meum tibi commendo, ut me ipsum, immo magis. De abbatia4 nihil aliud dico, quia scio eam tibi esse curae, ut tuam. Et ita rogo, ut facias.

11 Ferenc Frangepán, Archbishop of Kalocsa.

2 Ferenc Frangepán was Archbishop of Kalocsa. Allusions by Brodarics indicate that Szapolyai might have considered replacing Archbishop of Esztergom Pál Várday - who proved to be disloyal several times - with Frangepán, who had always stuck to him. If there was such a plan it was never carried out.

3 See the previous letter.

4 The Abbey of Zalavár where Nádasdy was administrator from early 1526.
