Sono tanto obbligato per la tanta premura vi siete dato...´ (Translation: ”... It is fine if it doesn't bother you, they will remain on my account and we will then arrange it later, by sending other sums, as it will suit you better, therefore, I am your debtor for 3708 Milanese lire. I am so grateful for the great care you have taken ...”) Further Donzelli refers to different matters he has to deal with and states in part ` I vostri consigli mi sono cari e vantaggiosi , quindi vi prego..., assicurandovi della mia gratitudine... cosi ora sono piu tranquillo´ (Translation: ” Your advice is dear and helpful to me, so please do not... assuring you of my gratitude...so now I'm more at peace”) Addressed to the verso in Donzelli´s hand, also bearing an attractive red wax seal in fine condition and a postmark.
