340 God to authorise a proposition of mine? I submit to both of you my most deferential regards and remain more and more, Your Reverence’s most humble, devoted and obliged servant Giuseppe Tartini Padua, 5 November 1751 84. Tartini to G.B. Martini Your last letter, which I received from Padre Maestro Ghiro, has caused me some confusion. Your Reverence writes to me, in the said letter, that you are awaiting two replies of mine to two other letters of yours concerning my dissertation. I have received two letters written by Your Reverence in this regard. One from Signor Don Antonio, in which there were various points with requests of instructions and explanations, etc. I replied to them (point by point) last month towards mid-month, and I sent my letter via post. I received your other letter, in which you informed me that the recognition of these harmonious tones was not new, etc. I immediately replied in the subsequent post. That you had not yet received this last letter of mine, when you wrote yours, that given to Padre Maestro Ghiro, does not surprise me, because if I have done my calculations well, my letter was at that time on the road. But that you have not received the other letter of mine written in October, if this is the case, it surprises and pains me greatly, as in this case my reply has gone missing. It is therefore necessary that Your Reverence answer me immediately and tell me definitely whether you have received these two replies of mine. If you did not receive them (whether it be the one or the other to have been lost; both, I do not believe), I shall reply to you again. If, then, besides these two letters of yours, for which you actually have received my two aforementioned replies, you have written me other letters, to which you are awaiting replies on my part, please take note that I have hitherto received none other besides the two I have mentioned. Whatever the case may be, there is a remedy, but time is being wasted. Please reply to me immediately, and submitting to you my regards, as I do to the Most Illustrious Signor Dottor Balbi, I remain Your Reverence’s most humble, devoted and obliged servant Giuseppe Tartini Padua, 12 November 1751
