Note 42 — Chapter II · THE MARRIED WOMAN
George Herbert Ely translation
The abate Serassi has preserved it: “My dear husband, I have got a little daughter, for which I think you will not be sorry. I have been much worse than last time, and, as I wrote you, I have had three attacks of very high fever. To-day, however, I am feeling better, and hope to have no more trouble. I will not try to write any longer, lest I be over bold. With all my heart I commend myself to your lordship. Your wife, who a little starocca with pain. Mantua, August 20, 1520.”
