Summary
Thanking Giulio da Montevecchio for the updates on the enemy from Casole and the joint operations with the Marquis di Marignano and asking again to make sure that the local harvest can procede; in the postscript, adding that the soldiers disbanded by Piero Strozzi should not be paid but rather their belongings should be taken from them once they seek refuge among them and cannot turn back.
