Summary
Saying to her recipient that a Messer[?] Ariano has arrived to pledge obedience to the Governor and that he would please her by dispatching him promptly, also that she would be much obliged to him and to the Mons. Governor if he would recommend Camillo Lepido, a relative of Ariano, as he can do it much better than she herself; (in her own hand) adding that she is highly recommending M. Ariano to him and his wife because he deserves every favor and that she will be much obliged if he were to give him protection.
