I. Csány was sent back a few days ago. Gritti sent his own secretary Mahmud with him. - 2. It is John s order that Nádasdy should appear in front of him as soon as possible, and he and Frangepán advise the same because of the Governor, whose matters are not settled in the absence of Nádasdy. 3. They should try to protect their serfs from the Turks; they should appear before Pasha Ibrahim if necessary. — 4. Ferdinand's legates are expected to return from the Sultan today.

Domine Magnifice. Salutem et servitiorum meorum commendationem.

[1.] Stephanum Chany1 dimisimus nudiustertius. Illustrissimus dominus gubernator1 2 misit eum cum suo proprio secretario Mahmuth.

[2.] Maiestas regia, dominus noster clementissimus optat et iubet, ut veniatis ad eam 5 quamprimum. Idem consulimus nos cum domino reverendissimo Colocensi,3 honor vester exigit hoc, praesertim propter dominum gubernatorem, cuius negotia tam publica, quam privata sunt omnia confusa propter absentiam vestram, de qua re et de illius erga vos animo plura per Chany.

Fratrem meum4 vobis commendo magis, quam me ipsum, io [3.] Quantum possibile est, custodiatis subditos vestros. Caesar praeter omnium opinionem vadit per istam viam, aliud remedium nullum, si tamen aliquod, quam mittere ad illustrem Ibraym bassam et ei supplicare.

[4.] Hodie exspectamus huc oratores regis Ferdinandi, qui apud caesarem fuerunt, domum redeuntes.5

15 Alia omnia amplissime et uberrime per Chany. Sis felix.

Ex Buda, ultima lulii 1532.

5 Ferdinand sent off the two legates, Leonhard Nogarola and Joseph Lamberg, in May, but their mission failed. The Sultan had already left Constantinople, so negotiation was out of the question. However, he kept the legates with him and let them leave only when they were in Kőszeg.
