Summary
Telling Giulio da Montevecchio that he received his letter along with that Captain Concetto Vinco, both of whom agree to adjust the repairs made on the big wall of Piombino; also confirming that pioneers have been sent to the vicarage of Certaldo, along with manipulated fires and other stuff requested by Bastiano Campana, and asking him to accomodate them in the best way possibile; giving him authority to order the right amount of wood that they need; updating him on the fleet, which was last seen at Saragozza on the 11th before leaving it.
