Bologna, 4 February 1854.
Not being [illegible] to [illegible] Cesare [illegible], [illegible] as agreed between us, I ask you to suspend [illegible], as [illegible] has come my way here in our market, and [illegible] this article could be found [illegible]. [Illegible] of time [illegible], but given the limit of his judgment [illegible] and [illegible] to know [illegible].
I await some [illegible]. [Illegible] Mr Luigi [illegible], and [illegible] at the pleasure of your orders.
[Closing words partly illegible] with esteem, [I salute you?].
E. T. Caldonazzi [?].
