Ludovic ne se fit pas répéter cet ordre, et la duchesse écrivit de sa main une longue reconnaissance antidatée d’un an, et par laquelle elle déclarait avoir reçu, de Ludovic San Micheli la somme de 80 000 francs, et lui avoir donné en gage la terre de la Ricciarda.
Lodovico did not wait to be told twice, and the Duchessa wrote out in her own hand a long form of receipt, ante-dated by a year, in which she declared that she had received from Lodovico San Micheli the sum of 80,000 francs, and had given him in pledge the lands of La Ricciarda.
