It is not yet quite certain whether Gabrielli will come. Some say Madame de' Amicis will sing in it; we shall see her in Naples. I wish that she and Manzuoli could act together; we should then be sure of two good friends. The libretto is not yet chosen. I am at this moment at work on the aria "Se ardore e speranza." Rome, April 25, 1770.
Herr Manzuoli, the musico, who has always been considered and esteemed as the best of his class, has in his old age given a proof of his folly and arrogance. I don't know what the result of this history will be a bad one, I fear! Milan, Nov. 30, 1771. That you may not suppose I am ill, I write you a few lines. I saw four fellows hanged in the Dom Platz. They hang here just as they do in Lyons.
She is enchanted with Manzuoli and you know her approbation is a test, who has heard all the great singers, learnt of all, and sings with as much taste as any of them. Adieu! STRAWBERRY HILL, July 28, 1765.
Peter's foot at San Pietro, and as I have the misfortune to be so short, your good old was lifted up! Rome, April 21, 1770. Pray try to find the "Art of Ciphering" which you copied out, but I have lost it, and know nothing about it. So pray do write it out again for me, with some other copies of sums, and send them to me here. Manzuoli asks 1000 ducats.
