Summary
Writing to his recipient that some time before he had sent him a letter in which he asked for his advice as to how the Duke of Urbino's good will could be maintained towards his house and especially the Duke Luigi d'Este, as he had always showed; suspecting that his letter has gone astray, since he did not receive any reply, he is writing to him again; also telling him that he would greatly appreciate his involvement and that he fully entrusts his judgement in a good end of the deal, probably the transfer of the territory of Urbino to the Church.
