They take notice of Katzianer s complaint against Hieronym Laski and Ferenc Behek; on their part, they do their utmost to preserve truce. - 2. However, they, too, have their grievances: attached to the document, they are sending a list of the instances when the truce was broken: they are sending it to Tamás Szalaházv and Etek Thurzó as well. They request Katzianer to honour the armistice of Megver and to send commissioners to Esztergom to clarify matters of dispute. - 3. They do not disband their army because they suspect that if they did Katzianer would attack Transylvania. - 4. They promise to call upon Laski and Bebek to do nothing against subjects of Ferdinand I. - 5. They are accusing Bálint Török with keeping over 2000 serfs under his control by force in spite of the armistice. - 6. Several of the Szapolyai party have already returned occupied estates but none have done so in the Ferdinand party. - 7. Bálint Török complains about the Szapolyai party for having occupied Szabadka: this will be investigated. - S. Enclosed, they list the instances when the truce was breached that they have been informed about. Magnifice Domine et Amice nobis Honorande. Salutem et commendationem.
