  Abstract:  In the first part of my study I analyze the characteristics of the prosaic letter and its functions. In the second part, I bring Bod Peter as letter writer forward. In the last part I analyze and transcribe the manuscript of Bod Péter’s letter, which was written to the scholar Sinai Miklós. Bod Péter’s letter to Sinai Miklós was found in the Great Library of the Debrecen Reformed College under number R. 921. The manuscript was indubitably written by Bod Péter, because is signed by him, and the manuscript renders truly his spelling and handwriting. I display the full content of the manuscript and analyze it. In the first part of his letter, Bod Peter attracts the attention of his scholar fellow Sinai Miklós that in the universalization of the Reformation not only Perényi Péter has a main role, but others too, like: Devai Bíró Mátyás, Székely István, Szántai István. In the second part of his letter answers Sinai Miklós’s requests and in the third part answers his questions. In the last part of his letter, Bod Péter underlines the fact that he would transmit many more information if his work the “Literatta Panno-Dacica” was edited. In my opinion, concerning Bod Péter’s work, the manuscript demonstrates the fact that Bod Péter was a great data acquisitor, a data analyzer, saving and transmitting important information, but at the same time he was a helpful and lovely friend too.
