Summary
Saying to a friend that he is also not impressed by his pupil's beauty, but at least she's not "Medusa," and thanking him for his search to find her a husband, since they unfortunately missed their opportunity with the young man from Cagli; stating that he is currently considering Sig. Cesare Calabressi from Viterbo, but that the conclusion of a contract is still far off; referring to his hoped for cardinalate in a joking matter.
