much.....and in this day I finally decided to let you know about this and send you some contemporary stamps, if you want
more of the modern ones let me know....As for Valencia, I told you that they would give Passerini a contract again, and in
fact they did: also for next year. Now, for the season of Celebreties Borghi will be here to sing in La Favorita, Il
Barbieri, Saffo and Othello-and the impresario did not show much affection for me. He did not schedule me to sing the
aforementioned first 2 operas and order to reserve them for Borghi. What can one do? I do not want to make myself sick
All I can do is shrug my shoulders and say and who cares?...Many congratulations on your success in Pagliano. I was
