Miscellaneous 1552

Aug. 12. Lettere sottoseritte, Terra Serenissima Signoria, Venetian Archives. 124. The Doge and Senate to Giacomo Soranzo, Venetian Ambassador in England.
Our right faithful citizens Giacomo and Placito Regazoni are now trading in London, and from our prudent citizen Benetto Ragazzoni, (fn. 1) their father, we understand that a certain sum of money belonging to them has been drawn out of the Mint (Zecca) there, by Agneli, so at their aforesaid father's request we charge you both for the said money's recovery, as likewise in all other just and reasonable matters, to favour our aforesaid citizens, as we are sure you will do, proceeding always with reserve and due circumspection.
[Italian, signed.]
Dec. 17. Lettere sottoseritte, Mar Serenissima Signoria, Venetian Archives. 125. The Doge and Senate to Giacomo Soranzo, Venetian Ambassador in England.
Wrote to him lately in recommendation of their most faithful citizen Giacomo Ragazzoni, with regard to his suit (causa) before the most illustrious Royal Council of England, which suit has been now brought to good terms, although it is not entirely despatched; and as our said faithful subject again might happen to require your assistance and authority, being requested by his kinsfolk here, we charge you to obtain the speedy and good settlement of this suit.
