Letter signed : Rome, to an unidentified recipient, 1682 January 24.

Saying to her recipient that since her past efforts made on his behalf with the Strozzis did not have the prompt effect she had wished for, she hopes that a renewed effort will bring the desired result and that he should be patient for a few more days, in the certain knowledge that she will not tire of rendering service on whatever occasion; also stating that she enjoyed his erudite composition but confessing that he has chosen too weak a subject to excite his talent and that she would feel happy if she could find in herself all those attributes he endows her with; in the postscript, in her own hand, telling his recipient that she remained in bed for a few days with fever and bile problems but that she is feeling better now; also saying that she apreciates his advice and that she will alway be ready to serve him.
