I. He has spoken about Husit with Gritti. who says that earlier Nádasdy did not raise such obstacle as he does now. Brodarics feels Nádasdy should be grateful to those to whom he owes his life and position, so he should simply hand over Husit to Grilli. - 2. He asks Nádasdy to settle his matter, too. with Bakics and Bálint Török. - Peace talks between Suleyman and Charles would be meaningful only if John and Ferdinand reached a deal first. - 4. Petényi is held prisoner in the house of Gergely Pesthény. His case will be decided after the King's arrival. - 5. Laski has travelled to Ferdinand in connection to the issue of King John.
