He has received Nádasdy s letter to Ferenc Frange pán and István Werbőczy, who are away from Buda at the moment; they went to receive the King who is arriving from Huszt. Nádasdy should hand over the castle of Huszt to Gritti without conditions or delay. ~ 2. He gave Babay 100 forints, so now he owes only /19. Nádasdy should give that sum to the orphans of scribe Demeter. He has spent much money on Pécs too, which provides no income but there are costs. - 3. The hope for peace Jills him with joy; if only the Turks accepted it. Since Mohács, he believes that Hungary can survive only if Turkish benevolence is ensured. - 4. It is alright for Nádasdy to travel to Kapuvár, if he wants to. - 5. Gritti resents the fact that Nádasdy has his sea! and certain documents. For the sake of fairness, Nádasdy should return those to him. - 6.

Et in hoc Vestra Dominatio bene consideret, quid eius honor requirat, quem omnibus castris mundi debet anteponere, etiam si cum homine alio haberetis agere. Istum autem totus mundus scit vos habuisse io maximum benefactorem, qui vos loco filii amavit, fruit et promovit valde sincero et paterno amore. Qui vobis contrarium suadent, videte, ne parum bene consulant honori vestro. Hoc est sententia mea et consilium. [2.] Quod ad pecunias attinet, vidi rationem accepti et expensi, comperi longe aliter, quam credebam.
