Summary
Expressing his displeasure at learning about Giulio da Montevecchio's fever and telling him that he will send a stertcher so that, if doctors decide that the summer climate of the military quarters in Piombino is not healthy, he could go to Florence and that he will replace him with another overseeer so that the fortifications will not be delayed.
