![To his Son-in-Law, ”There couldn’t be more reassuring news than what you gave me. Oh, what beautiful horns have grown on your enemies! They are so long that they stretch from Padua to Tavia. I can only hope that a similar extension will grow all the way from their buttocks to their throat and suffocate them just as they deserve. The recent news from here is that the magistrate has not agreed on the desired stipend that was not considerable…. So while I have taken on your cause, I am writing a forceful letter to a powerful patrician my son-in-law to move the disposition of His Excellency Gabrieli, the actual state inquirer, so that he then will speak forcefully to E. Bembo who wants to do everything to please His Exc. Gabrieli. Please remind His E. Vindmorin of the public letter so that you can collect (just like others, and, as was done with others, it did not happen barbarically to me) the usual anticipated sum, namely 24 ducats. A letter like that needs to be issued to you with the aid of the Senate. I imagine you have given yourself pleasant recourse at the house that is more or less yours, that is with my most beloved daughter. I hope and pray that such news did not overwhelm her sensibility too forcefully. More immediately, even though it has happened to you, no professor has ever been elected, and this is good. I gave the two ducats back to the noted Domenican friar as a gift. If you ever find yourself short, know that you must not think about the [table / food]. There is a spot here in my philosopher’s refectory, that is, there is enough here to sustain life. As far as sleeping goes, there is room in the house of my servant just a few steps across from me. My bed is really large, but I don’t want to sleep with you. Having been far from your house for several weeks, I don’t want to compensate and be too close now.
