English translation

Letter sent by Ibrahim Pasha to the War Commissioners in Vienna, under his seal.

Ibrahim Pasha, by the grace of God chief secretary and supreme minister of the serene and most invincible Emperor Sultan Suleiman, commander and governor of all his empire and all his affairs. Your excellencies, mighty leaders and commanders, when your letter was delivered to us through your emissary, we understood all its contents, and would like you to know that we have not come to take your cities, but only to seek your Archduke Ferdinand, but could not find him; this is why we have stayed so many days, waiting for him, but he would not come. And yesterday we released three of your men who were our prisoners, and ask that you do the same to our men, as we have also instructed your emissary to tell you orally. So you may also at any time send one of your men out to us, to enquire after the prisoners, and you shall not fear or be concerned about our good faith, because if we did not keep our promise to those in Ofen, it was not our fault but their own. Vienna, mid-October, 1529.
