Summary
Thanking the Count for his hospitality which is not only well-known throughout Italy, but also in Germany and is only minor in comparison to his generosity in entertaining the House of Brunswick; saying that the Duke as well as the Price, his son, and the Princess have been please with their stay in Rome, with the exception of the wife of the Grand Marshal who regrets not having found here the Principe di Cisterna as he had gone back to Turin on the order of the Duke of Savoy; adding that she is enamored of the Prince who is said to be good-looking, and that therefore, the great sights of Rome did not satisfy her since she was longing to see her "love object" in Savoy.
