Summary
Discussing exchanges and the possibility that his accounts will need to be corrected to reflect the exchanges; telling him he is gaining strength gradually but is still able to do very little; telling him that "once I had an exquisite little bit of vein of gold from La Gardette Daufliney. I gave it away and have shortened my life by mourning for it;" asking if he can get any vein stone from that locality.
