LETTER XLVI.
Magnificent Signori: —It was with difficulty that I found the bearer of this, whose name is Tornese da Santa Maria Imprunta; and to whom I have paid a gold ducat, and promised him that your Lordships will pay him two more ducats.
The ducat which I have paid him you will please reimburse to Biagio, as also the other four which I have paid for my two previous despatches.
Niccolo Machiavelli.
Conrinaldo,
2 January, 1503.
When paid, please give the Captain a certificate of it.
