Letter to Mons. Federico Maria Giovanelli
From the Villa "La Brouette"
July Year of our Lord 1779
Vostra EccellenzaReverendissima, Monsignore
Federico Maria Giovanelli
I trust this letter finds you in good health.
It was very fortunate that I received your letter on the morning of my departure, as I had received an urgent message informing me that my Father had been taken ill. So I left the children in the excellent care of the Principe and Cece.
I was most surprised to find my father here, as I had no idea that he had a Villa and lands here.
Sadly I found him very unwell, suffering from an affliction of the lungs. I wish I had Devi's knowledge of herbs and healing. I have, however, been greatly aided by Monsieur Claude-Alexandre Villeneuve the Count of Vence, who has arranged for the infermary sister, from the local monastero to come and administer to Father, and his breathing seems to be better.
The Contesse de Villeneuve also seems to be a regular visitor and seems very familiar with the Villa, which is beautiful, although rather delapidated, and has a magnificent view.
I had some concerns for the children when I left Melioria. As I wrote in my last letter on the surface the children seemed to have settled in well. However, I must now inform you that Santi seems to have disappeared. No one is sure where and when, but there is some talk that he has stowed away on one of the ships that sailed from the port last week.
Rosaria seems unconcerned, so I am unsure what to think.
My greatest concern is for Fiorino. He amongst all in the group, seemed the most active participant in life here in Melioria, yet when he thinks no one is looking I catch him staring out to sea with a sadness in his eyes which is heartbreaking. As soon as he sees me he becomes his usual cheerful and helpful self. I remain most concerned.
With the kindest regards be assuredof my sincerest feelings of respect and friendship, I remain your
faithful daughter in CJ
