Copernicus to Bishop Dantiscus - translation
Frombork, 25 April 1538
To his lordship, Most Reverend Father in Christ, Johannes [Dantiscus] by the grace of God bishop of Varmia, my most kindly and most honorable lord
My lord, Most Reverend Father in Christ, most gracious lord:
With regard to that matter of the canonries, which your Most Reverend Lordship entrusted to me. I have received the plan and shared it with the Most Reverend [bishop] of Chełmno. The matter did not seem to be advanced enough to be referred to the Chapter unless the case of the Cantor, which has intervened, is decided first. When that is done, there will be a better opportunity to bring the proposal up, unless another plan is conceived in the meantime by your Most Reverend Lordship, to whom I wish my services to be acceptable.
Frombork, the fifth day after Easter Sunday [25 April] 1538
Your Most Reverend Lordship's
most devoted
Nicholas Copernicus
