Summary
Thanking his recipient for sending him the tragedia and saying that since it is the fruit of hs labors, it could not fail to satisfy the mind of the erudite who are more than convinced that it will meet with the approval of Alessandro Albani; stating what he can tell from having read part of it, he recognizes that it is like his other creations in keeping with the nobility of his genius and his reputation; (in his own hand) that he thanks him for the gift which he will jealously guard as it is part of his genius.
