[4.] Clementissime Rex.

Ego cogor ire licet satis invalidus adhuc ad Zala in negotio quodam importanti fratris mei,9 quod cum affinibus suis habet ex parte bonorum. Propterea non potero esse ita frequens in scribendo ad Vestram Maiestatem. Quod supplico, ut Vestra Maiestas boni 25 consulere dignetur.

I. The Turks left Moldova indeed, hut left a guard of5000 behind to protect the new Voivod, who had been raised in the Sultan s court. - 2. Had the troops gathered together in time, John would have tried his luck against the Sultan. At least Transylvania has been saved, and Moldova is said to have avoided serious damage. - 3. He has no more recent news; he expects good news from Thurzó about military operations on the sea. - 4. He needs to travel to Zala for three weeks in connection to some property issues of his brother: on his way hack he will tty to meet Thurzó.

[ 1.] Nova, quae scripsi de Turearum imperatoris de Moldavia discessu, fuerunt vera; discessit cum toto exercitu suo relicto tamen quinque milia circiter praesidio novo waywodae, qui nutritus in curia eius est, et ipse de genere wayvodarum.2 5 [2.] Peccatum credo esse in tarditate tam nostrorum, quam vestrorum. Qui si tempestive affuissent, credo, quod rex dominus noster clementissimus fortunam tentasset
