        <p>Sokollu Mehmed Pasha informs Maximilian that a janissary by the name of Osman, who had served at the imperial court before, reportedly has been abducted by bandits while travelling to Buda. He expresses hope that the perpetrators of this crime will be brought to justice under Maximilian’s jurisdiction and that Osman will swiftly be sent back.</p>
