We are, thanks to God and the glorious Virgin, very well.

We have had an interview with the illustrious King Alfonso, who showed us no less love and obedience than he would have shown had he been our own son.

I cannot tell you with what satisfaction and contentment we took leave of each other.

You may be certain that his Majesty stands ready to place his own person and every thing he has in the world at our service.
We hope that all differences and quarrels in regard to the Colonna will be completely laid aside in three or four days.

At present I have nothing more to say than to warn you to be careful of your health and constantly to pray to the Madonna.
