Summary
Saying to a friend that the reports he received from someone visiting Rome for the Holy Year are untrue and that everybody was contrite and regretful of the sins committed in the past, scrupulous and cautious not to commit new ones, with grumbling and slandering his fellow man; adding that they have praised him, and more likely, told lies about him which hurt his reputation so well rooted in his friend's love and not based on any merit of his.
