ALS in Italian, signed “G. Rossini,” one page, 7.5 x 10, February 4, 1851. Rossini sends a brief letter of affection from Bologna to his “excellent friend,” in full: “I thank you so very much for what you advised regarding the Carpini Assets; I understand that I will enjoy with Lampovecchi [?] the fruit of my money. I will avail myself of your right ideas to conduct the negotiations. Santo had your receipt for the two notes of L. 1000 each to charge Moghina’ [?]; if he does not pay when they are due, go ahead with the collection. However, I hope that everything will end well. My reason tells me that I should not give you any longer the pain of reading my writings but my heart wants for me to take care of you always,” adding the post script, “Olimpia sends her warm regards. Is Matilde, that you will salute for me, glad of her new apartment? What about her loving son, Angelo? Is he doing well in high school? A hug for Sansone.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, some scattered paper loss to edges, uniform toning, tear to right edge near signature, old tape and mounting remnants to reverse, otherwise very good condition.
