May 1549
| May 6? MS. St. Mark's Library, Cod. xxiv. Cl. x. No date of time or place. | 560. The Same to the Bishop of Ceneda [Don Michele della Torre, Papal Nuncio in France]. |

| Very Reverend Monsignor [beloved?] as a brother. The Reverend Dr. Hilliard (Eliardo), the Pope's Penitentiary, the bearer of the present letter, will explain to your Lordship the cause of his coming, and although it is very certain that as his business relates to the service of God and of his Holiness, your Lordship will not fail to favour it, I nevertheless cannot but recommend it as warmly as possible, both the cause and himself, praying you to exert yourself in it as warmly as anticipated by me by reason of your goodness and piety. And I also recommend to you especially Captain Griffith (fn. 1) [Grifetto], in case he should have either to remain [in England], or to return to France with the intention of serving his most Christian Majesty, and of obtaining some suitable stipend from him. For the rest, I refer myself to the statement of the bearer. I have nothing else to tell you, save that I am most ready to do your Right Reverend Lordship any pleasure, and recommend myself to you, praying our Lord God long to save and prosper you in his service. (fn. 2) | |
| Rome? 6th May? | |
| [Italian.] | |
| May 14. MS. St. Mark's Library, Cod. xxiv. Cl. x. | 561. Cardinal Pole to the Archbishop of Sorrento. |
| Thanks him for the proofs of his affection, and reciprocates it. Recommends him to cherish his health for the service of God, and of the Pope. Is grateful for his present holy day, of which he had in truth great need. | |
| Civitella, 14th May. | |
| [Italian.] | |
| May 25. Original Letter Book, Venetian Archives. | 562. Matteo Dandolo, Venetian Ambassador at the Court of Paul III., to the Signory. |
| It seems that in France they sought to surprise as it were (quodammodo robare) a fortress (fn. 3) dependent on Ardres, near Boulogne, hoping thus to recover that place. The garrison being forewarned fought very stoutly, and the French were worsted, their commander, Mons. de Chatillon, being wounded. | |
| In England also war with France becomes daily more and more apparent, by reason of the usual defence and protection afforded to Scotland, as the Signory will learn better from the Venetian ambassadors in those parts. | |
| Rome, 25th May. | |
