115 Piotr Tomicki to István Brodarics Kielce,1 [after 20 November 1528]1 2 Manuscript used: BN T. 9. föl. 116r— 117r.3 Published: Acta Tomiciana X. 420-421. /. He has received two letters from Brodarics: from these he learnt that there had been others but those had not reached him. - 2. Since Brodarics must have expressed his gratitude in those too for the money he had sent, he reassures Brodarics that he had done all this with pleasure as a true friend in order to express his devotion to King John this way too. He wishes luck for Brodarics' travel home. Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine Frater et Amice Carissime ac honorande. [1.] Accepi binas eodem tempore Dominationis Vestrae litteras, unas quidem mihi inscriptas,4 alteras vero mihi cum domino castellano Cracoviensi.5 Et ex illis equidem 5 meis cognovi Dominationem Vestram iam ante post reditum sui ad se capellam6 litteras alias ad me dedisse, quas ego non accepi. [2.] Quia tamen conicio in illis Dominationem Vestram, quod et in istis facit, egisse mihi gratias ob pecuniam et alia sibi a me missa,7 utrisque nunc simili respondeo, ita videlicet, quod ea, quae hactenus liberalitatis officia (utcunque exigua) Reverendis- lo simae Dominationi Vestrae praestiterim, ab optimo meo in illam animo et ab humana atque fraterna caritate fuerunt profecta, quibus etiam deinceps, si opus fuerit, ita uti volo, ut nihil illi in meo officio et liberalitate desiderandum relinqui possit. Libenter enim ego me in his praesto officiosum et benevolum, quae vel observantiam in serenissimum regem Ioannem meam, vel amorem in vos ceteros singularem declarare et is testari possent. Quibus ego invicem omnibus praesentem reditum in patriam faustum esse opto et felicem, simulque precor, ut ita prospere pugnetur a parte vestra, ubi fuerit opus, et maiestas sua ita regno potiatur, ut et vos voti vestri et amissarum fortunarum compotes esse possitis.

Tomicki received this letter on 20 November according to the note on it (redditae 20 Novembris) ' Further manuscripts: BK 226 fol. 398; BK 220 fol. 270v-271r; BJ 6551 fol. 490-491; BCzart TN 42. fol. 645-646. 4 That is, the letter by Brodarics on 28 October 1528.
