(Translation)
Signor Pacini,
My brother returned last Wednesday and came to see me in the evening and told me that the following day they would begin to strike the medals, whence I believe that at present the work will be going ahead, but it always takes a substantial time for the operation, I am not very familiar with such things.
This evening I will write to him; but here is his address:
To Signor B. Pistrucci
at the Royal Mint.
My greetings to your lady daughter, and to Signor Paganini. After his first public appearances we shall see each other, I mean to come and pay him my respects shortly.
Yours most sincerely
F. Pistrucci
