Summary
Saying to his recipient that, with sincere regret, he is sharing his justified grief on the death of the Cavaliere Giulio, his worthy father whose gifts deserved his filial affection and claimed even from him the most respectful consideration; saying that he regards it as his duty to show him this consideration under these circumstances by imploring God for a place of peace and rest for the deceased and to show it to his correspondent on the occasions requiring his services.
