Note 156 — Chapter III · The Bailly of Troyes French Ambassador in England (1533)

It is quite possible that Dinteville was acquainted with More before the embassy of 1533. La Pommeraye, writing from England to the Bishop of Auxerre in the summer of the previous year, says, “Mr. Morres, que vous congnoissez, qui estoit Chancelier de ce Roy s’est desfaict, ou l’on l’a desfaict, ne sçay lequel, de sa Chancellerie, & est demeuré personne privée....” (Mr. Morres [note by Camusat: Th. Morus], whom you know, who was Chancellor to this king, has resigned or has been deprived of his Chancellorship, I do not know which, and has retired into private life.) Camusat, “Meslanges Historiques,” p. 93, Gilles de la Pommeraye, from London, to the Bishop of Auxerre at Rome, June 21st, 1532.
