Messer Bartolomei has now brought me a sonnet by you, which has made it my duty to write.
Some three days since I received my drawing of Phaeton, which is exceedingly well done.

The Pope, the Cardinal de' Medici, and every one, have seen it.

I do not know what made them want to do so.

The Cardinal expressed a wish to inspect all your drawings, and they pleased him so much that he said he should like to have a Tityos and Ganymede done in crystal.

I could not prevent him from using the Tityos, and it is now being executed by Master Giovanni.
I struggled hard to save the Ganymede.
