'Nay, my Lord Duke, it is only to retreat till King Rene sends his forces, and mayhap the French Dauphin. 'To retreat would be to prolong their misery.
But he was a little nervous about writing it, especially in the German script. He could write it, but he was not sure that he could write it so well that it would seem like the work of a German. However, he took the chance. "My name is Gebhardt," he wrote. "I come from Munich, and I am visiting my uncle and aunt here at Gumbinnen.
Nay, the felons would think them deserted, and work their will. Out upon such craven counsel! 'The captive ladies may be secured from an injury if your lordship holds a parley, demands the amount of ransom, and, without pledging yourself, undertakes to consult the Dauphin and their other kinsmen on the matter. 'Detained here in I know not what misery, exposed to insults endless? Never, Gebhardt!
This wonderful parchment now preserved at Rossano is mentioned for the first time by Cesare Malpica, who wrote some interesting things about the Albanian and Greek colonies in Calabria, but it was only discovered, in the right sense of that word, in March 1879 by Gebhardt and Harnack.

'I care little how it goes with my old carcase now, returned Balchenburg, in the spirit of the Amalekite of old. 'I only mourn that I shall not be there to see the strife you will breed with the lute-twanger or his fellows at Nanci. Gebhardt here gave his opinion that it would be wise to reserve the old man for King Rene's justice, so as to obviate all peril of dissension.
