275 LETTERS immediately of what you decide for my peace of mind, so that if you come to agree with me, I can meanwhile give you some good advice, and if you wish to send him to me, I can inform you of what will be required for all expenses. The bad influence of the Dutch printer still continues, and no letters or other notifications of any sort have been seen. I recommend that Your Reverence do something which will benefit you and perhaps myself as well. Write to him again just once, and in your letter mention your displeasure and mine about not seeing from him any reply concerning your and my own interests. Say that you have written to me to hear news thereof, and that I have replied to you that many months after sending him my compositions I have not even seen the statement of receipt. I recommend that Your Reverence carry out this last attempt, and let us wait and see what comes of it. Meanwhile, together with Signor Don Antonio, I convey to you my most deferential regards, and as ever I declare myself Your Reverence’s most humble, devoted and obliged servant Giuseppe Tartini Padua, 16 January 1739 19. Tartini to G.B. Martini With the opportunity given to me by Signor Don Antonio, I do not want to miss the consolation of visiting Your Reverence by means of letter, confirming to you my servitude and endless esteem and veneration towards Your Reverence as ever greater, and telling you again that, God willing, I shall be in Bologna towards the end of July. We shall then talk and reach a decision about the student destined to me by His Excellency Signor Conte Cornelio Pepoli, as I am all too eager, as I wrote to you some time ago, to serve him well. Signor Don Antonio will settle for me the monetary debt which I have had, and for quite some time, with Your Reverence, with whom I have taken the liberty of this delay, as it is a small matter. Please preserve your love and patronage for me, while I, revering you most humbly and cordially, profess and submit myself as ever Your Reverence’s most humble, devoted and obliged servant Giuseppe Tartini Padua, 14 April 1739
