book, and since I think that you will not have been able
to finish reading all of it, so as not to weary you with so
insignificant a matter, and since I have received what I
desired of you and am most satisfied by it, with all my
heart I thank you. Now I pray you, that you do not
trouble to read further, but to send it back to me, keep-

experience the polish of your wondrous file: and from
now onwards I will come to visit you, and serve you

Keep yourself in good health, I beseech you, and pre-
serve me in your good favour.
In Florence. This day 22nd May 1559.
