/. He Iws received the talest letter from Brodarics and Frangepán. and summarises their main points. - 2. He is pleased that they also believe he means well for the country, but considers their accusations ludicrous when they say he wants to attack Transylvania. If this had been his plan he would not have informed them about his arrival. He is not going to disband his army because he was sent to protect Ferdinand's subjects from the harassment of an enemy that keeps breaking the truce - 3. The breaches are: the dash with Gáspár Serédy, the attack against Antal Lossonczy, and plundering by István Balentyth István. Ferenc Horváth. György Szalóky, and Ferenc Bebek in Borsod, just as the activities oftuski in Késmárk, who hinders him in bringing fresh supplies to Lőcse. - 4. People from Késmárk captured and took away a civilian from Lőcse in broad daylight: Podntaniczky seized the castle of Szentgyörgyi and Farkas Bazini in Lednica; he. even though he hud the necessary power, has not ravengedfor these for the sake of the country. — 5. But if John s subjects do not stop harassing the subjects of Ferdinand he will protect them with weapons. Only commissioners could solve the problem, if both kings sent them. - 6. But Esztergom is far; two commissioners would be needed there from each side as well as in Lőcse in order to make decisions quicker. Szapolyai could send a respected person right away so that the investigation of complaints could be started. - 7. It was not him but Ferenc Rév ay and Ferenc Nyáty who seized Znióváralja . They did it because robbers were staying there, who caused harm to both camps. They handled it the way Szapolyai s side had handled the castle of Palota. - B. The peace between Ferdinand and Suleyman that Brodarics and Frangepán have alluded to has not been announced anywhere, only in Vienna, and without any reference to Szapolyai. - 9. He does not consider the conquering of the town of Göncz a breach of the truce because László Nagy occupied the town during the truce. - 10. They should intervene with Szapolyai so that the King makes Laski. Bebek.

1 There is no addressee whatsoever in the document, but the salutation reverendissimi indicates councillors who are high priests, and the letter is obviously a response to the letter by Brodarics and Frangepán on 15 November, so they are the two addressees certainly.- An insignificantly small part of the letter has been published: Lukinicii Imre, A podmanini Podmaniczky- család oklevéltára, vol. II, Budapest, 1939,478-479.
