Summary
Saying to his recipient that he is repeating here what he already stated in another letter, that among the many competitors aspiring to be admitted to the governing circle of the Sacra Consulta, he will keep in mind that Sig. Gambini for any opening that may occur; stating that when Sig. Filippo Scarsellati of Fabriano files a petiton to demolish one of his houses, he will remember his correspondent's eagerness to have his help; and that, concerning his (the Cardinal's) nephew, he wants to say only that he has every reason to complain, but he is not in a position to assist him as he would have wished because he does not get involved in family affairs from which he has always been keeping himself aloof.
