Summary
Saying to a Count that he has the opportunity of setting up in marriage one of his sisters and that, to supplement her dowry, he has to avail himself for the £2000[?] which was reinvested in a draft on him, but made payable to the writer by the Marchese Mosca and due in April 1775; stating that since the expiration date of the note has passed four years ago, he must urge him to pay off the debt for the above reason, trusting that the Count will not cause him financial embarrassment in such an important manner.
