In expeditione confirmationis vestrae huiusmodi dictus Antonio Pucci (*1484 – †1544), 1517-1521 papal nuncio in Switzerland; 1518-1541 Bishop of Pistoia; 1529-1541 Bishop of Vannes; 1529-1544 Penitentiary Major; 1531-1541 Cardinal of SS.

Dominus poenitentiarius est obligatus pro residuo solutionis dictorum ducatorum V-c LIX-a Iuliorum decem et ducati X pro cassatione obligationum et tempus de solvendo est prorogatum usque ad solemnitatem Resurrectionis Domini Nostri Ihesu Christi. Quare necessarium erit iuxta meam primam informationem isto medio tempore instare pro reductione secundum ordinationem tunc per me datam alias necessarium erit secundum huiusmodi solutionem satisfacere, sed mediis per me tunc specificatis. Spero aliquid in utilitatem vestram posse fieri modo Paternitas Vestra ex parte sua pro litteris obtinendis fecerit diligentiam.

Dominus doctor, ut credo, per suas litteras Paternitati Vestrae de omnibus et singulis gestis ad longum certiorem faciet. Et quod negotium vestrum ita tarde et quodam modo negligenter fuerit expeditum, in causa fuit, quod per diversos sollicitatum fuerit. Quare in futurum consultius erit in similibus et aliis negotiis uni tantum personae et amico committere, ut utilior et celerior fiat expeditio. Ergo ex parte mea semper in futurum in omnibus ero paratissimus.
