I have already a very agreeable general acquaintance; though when I came, here was no one I had ever seen in my life, but the Cavaliere Grimani and the Abbe Conti.

I must do them [the] justice to say they have taken pains to be obliging to me.

The Procurator brought his niece (who is at the head of his family) to wait on me; and they invited me to reside with them at their palace on the Brent, but I did not think it proper to accept of it.

He also introduced me to the Signora Pisani Mocenigo, who is the most considerable lady here.

The Nuncio is particularly civil to me; he has been several times to see me, and has offered me the use of his box at the opera.
