[344] To B. Textor, my brother and esteemed friend. Benoit Textor,
the distinguished physician and friend of Calvin, who dedicated to
him, in 1550, his Commentary on the Second Epistle of St. Paul to
the Thessalonians, in remembrance of the care which he had bestowed
during the sickness of Idelette de Bure.
Divers recommendations.
[_July 1542._]
First of all, I most earnestly entreat of you, that as soon as you
get home you will make the best of your way hither. Then after that,
would you turn a little off the road about Nyon, or a little beyond,
to visit a certain nobleman, the father of the young man who lives
with me? His village is called Bursin, and may be pointed out to you
at Rolle. Your arrival there will be most welcome to him, and, as I
hope, he will well reward your services. I hope that at my request
he may receive this favour at your hands.
