Summary
Saying to his recipient that he has not yet decided which way he will travel to Rome, but that in case he is passing through there and needs accommodation, he will give him notice; saying that a few hours would suffice to be treated family style, this being the condition for his acceptance of the offer; sending greetings to Sig. Castellano; (in his own hand) thanking him for his courtesy, although he does not know whether he will be able to take advantage of it, yet desires an occasion to oblige.
