273 LETTERS and it being extremely necessary for me to have it soon, I beg Your Reverence (if it is possible) to find some way of having it delivered to me in Venice, quickly and with little expense, given that, since it isn’t my own money, it is necessary for me to try and save. If therefore you were to have there any courier with whom you are on friendly terms, this would be the best way in my opinion. And in Venice it could be delivered on my behalf to Signor Pietro Bertani in Ca’ Corner in Calle della Regina, to whom it would be necessary that Your Reverence address, together with the money, a letter, if this way is of convenience to you. Of this money, keep all that was spent for the cocoa, and all you will spend for the courier, and do not fail to do this, because otherwise you will indeed take away any trust for the future on my part, while I take too much with you, without burdening your purse further. Please write to me again with the directions for the pigeons for Signor Dottor Balbi, as I have forgotten them; and this is necessary for me, because they will be prepared in a few days. Meanwhile I wholeheartedly send my most humble respects to you, and I declare myself Your Reverence’s most devoted obliged and humble servant Giuseppe Tartini Padua, 9 May 1738 16. Tartini to G.B. Martini Your Reverence has done excellently, and it seems impossible to me that with so little expense you have had them delivered to me in Venice. May God reward you for everything, as I do not know if I can thank you enough for this. It seems difficult that Your Reverence has not received any letters from Holland, though unfortunately it must be so, for hitherto I am in the same condition, but it is to my surprise. I shall await news about the pigeons, and if they are ready, as indeed I hope they are. Meanwhile, conveying Signor Don Antonio’s most humble regards to you, with all my heart as ever I remain, Your Reverence’s most devoted and obliged servant Giuseppe Tartini Padua, 16 May 1738
