We are all obliged to do all we can for Baronciello, and so we will, especially everything that is in our power.

You must know that on Friday evening at twenty-one o'clock Pope Julius came to my house where I work, and stayed about half an hour while I was at work; then he gave me the benediction, and went away, and showed himself well pleased with what I am doing.
For all this we must thank God heartily; and so I beg you to do, and pray for me.

I inform you further, how that on Friday morning I sent away Lapo and Lodovico, who were with me.

Lapo I dismissed because he is good for nothing and a rogue, and would not serve me.

Lodovico is better, and I would have kept him another two months; but Lapo, so as not to be the only one blamed, so corrupted him that they both had to go.
