Lucretia Borgia

CHAPTER XVII
9/12

Another undated letter to the same Vincenzo Giordano refers to her return to Rome; it purposely contains obscurities which it is now impossible to decipher and fictitious names which had been agreed upon with her servant.

Even the signature is a conventional sign.

The epistle is word for word as follows: "I am so filled with misgivings and anxiety on account of my returning to Rome that I can scarcely write--I can only weep.

And all this time when I found that Farina neither answered nor wrote to me I was able neither to eat nor sleep, and wept continually.
God forgive Farina, who could have made everything turn out better and did not do so.

I will see whether I can send him Roble before I set out--for I wish to send him.
