"Because they were talking at the Circolo of getting up some little matter of welcome, taking the horses from her carriage, and drawing her in, or some thing of that kind, and a serenata of course. Leandro is busy already with a poem for the occasion, you may swear!" "Bravo! bene! If only our good friend the Conte keeps his muse within tolerable limits!

Only two arias of the Serenata are still wanting, and then it will be finished. Milan, Oct. 5, 1771. I AM in good health, but always sleepy. Papa has snatched from my pen all that I had to write about, which is, that he has already written everything.
