Summary
Saying that his recipient's heartfelt expressions of sympathy at the loss of the Duchess of Modena, Laura di Girolamo Martinozzi, his sister-in-law, have brought relief to his affliction as only a person who loves him can provide; thanking him for that and wishing for new ways to show him his own gratitude and the memory he will preserve of his compassion.
