Summary
Saying to his recipient that he had been aware of the fact that Ferrara's air was not beneficial to the health of the Cavaliere, his worthy son, he would not have hesitated to advise him secretly of it; saying that if he should believe that it could affect in a harmful way his son's tense and melancholic disposition, he wants to assure him that he wishes only what he considers most appropriate for his son's prosperity.
