If you are in need of money go to the Spedalingo( 108) and make him give you anything up to fifteen ducats, and let me know what remains.

Jacopo,( 109) the painter whom I brought here, has just left, and as he has been grumbling here about my doings, I expect he will grumble there also.

Turn a deaf ear to him.

It is enough.

For he is a thousand times in the wrong.
