a casa, ve l'imparero. Finita questa lettera finiro una sinfonia
mia, che comminciai. L'aria e finita, una sinfonia e dal copista
(il quale e il mio padre) perche noi non la vogliamo dar via per
copiarla; altrimente ella sarebbe rubata.

[Footnote: "DEAREST SISTER,--"I assure you that I always expect
with intense eagerness my letters from Salzburg on post-days.
Yesterday we were at S. Lorenzo and heard vespers, and to-day at
the chanted mass, and in the evening at the second vespers,
because it was the Feast of the Madonna del Buonconsiglio. A few
days ago we were at the Campidoglio, where we saw a great many
fine things. If I tried to write you an account of all I saw,
this sheet would not suffice. I played at two concerts, and to-
morrow I am to play at another. After dinner we played at Potsch
[Boccia]. This is a game I have learnt, and when I come home, I
will teach it to you. When I have finished this letter, I am
going to complete a symphony that I have begun. The aria is
finished. The copyist (who is my father) has the symphony,
because we do not choose it to be copied by any one else, or it
might be stolen.
