To the pious, honorable Sir Hans Heinrich vom Rein, in Frankfurt am Main, my respectful, dear old comrade.

Most honorable, favored, especially dear old good friend, gratitude brings to mind your many good deeds to me, as well as those of your dear mother, the noble, highly virtuous woman Anna Martroffin (may God grant her eternal mercy). This prompts me to write cordially to you, when I am at home during the fairs. Therefore, as I was asked to transfer the aforementioned practice, and knowing your good will towards the wonderful natural art of Mathematics bestowed by God, I have thus willingly followed this more suitable request. I am sending this to you in lieu of recent news, and although my work is to be done, I nonetheless wish to have my goodwill be as pleasing to you as has been previously. I recognize myself as your old comrade and may God protect you at all times.

Given in Basel on the first of March, 1557.

E.A.W.

Adam von Bodenstein.
