I was extremely pleased to hear the good news of your health and that of your wife, Madame, to whom I ask you to convey my respectful compliments. Since in a few weeks, Baron Desta Piccolomini, a very distinguished gentleman, Cavaliere Romano, is moving to this capital to look after the interests of certain of his properties located in this Royal Domain, I hereby ask you to be generous with all your favours to him and to his wife, Madame Baroness, who is a lady full of spirit and possesses qualities that make her worthy of every distinction and courtesy, as yourself will recognise when the Baron sends you a letter from me. I extend to you and your wife my heartfelt thanks for all the favours you have bestowed upon the aforementioned gentlemen, and I am always ready to carry out your commands with the most respectful esteem...”, 2 sides 4to., Rome, 2rd June
