Yesterday I sent to ask the usual audience of his Holiness, but he sent me word that he was not yet sufficiently well to transact business, and that if I had anything of importance, I was to let him know, and he would send me his secretary, Dandino. Later in the day the Pope got up, and having seated himself, passed the day with a few of his intimates (domestici); and after giving audience to the Cardinals Pole and Farnese, he dined in the hall adjoining his chamber.

Have heard of the good resolve formed by the Patriarch of Aquileia [Giovanni Querini] to renounce that Patriarchate in his favour.

Send him the Right Reverend Patriarch's letter, and also a draft, according to which he can draw up a commission [or power?] to accept the renunciation.
