Summary
Telling her recipient that she is sending in a box four Agnus Dei of Pope Innocent XI and that she regrets not to be able to send more since they are scarce and difficult to find; adding that she hopes he will sympathize with her and that any occasion for service will give her utmost satisfaction; in the postscript, in her own hand, saying that she is happy to serve the Countess, his wife, by sending ten agnus dei of Innocent XI, true relics of their day since she just has a few.
