I confirm my last letter and hope that the lot of sole leather sent to you [is with you: the connecting phrase is uncertain].
I warmly beg you to let me have, upon receiving this letter, that is, by next Sunday, the remittance on Bologna for the 1,000 lire requested. If you cannot let me have the Ban[remainder of the word obscured], please tell me; in that case I shall draw a bill on Ferrara.
I greet you cordially.
