Therefore, if it please you to let this house or the farm, do so; and with that income and with what I shall give you you will live like a gentleman.

Were it not that the summer were coming on I would say come and live with me here, but it is not the season, for here in summer you would not live long.

It has occurred to me to take from him (Giovan Simone) the money which he has in the shop, and to give it to Gismondo, so that he and Buonarroto may get on together as well as they can ...

and if you let these said houses and the farm of the Pazolatica, and with that income and with the help that I will give you besides, you will take refuge in some place where you will be comfortable, and you will be able to keep some one to serve you either in Florence or outside Florence, and leave that good-for-nothing ...

I pray you to consider yourself, and in all things whatever you wish to do--that is, for yourself in all you desire--I will aid you all I know and can.
