Tornaghi to Bottesini (Genova, 5 Jul 1859)
Hotel della Lega Italiana.

Pregiatissimo Signore. Signor Eugenio Tornaghi, Secretario presso il Sigr Tito Ricordi, Contrada degli Omenoni, Milano.

Carissimo Tornaghi,

I have recieved the promissory note, but I warn you that I think I am obliged to send it back to you tomorrow as no-one wants to cash it. This Signor Schiaffino is either not known, or is known too well.

Tomorrow therefore I will perhaps unhappily return it to you and find myself as before, or rather in worse circumstances.

Aggradisci frattanto i saluti sinceri del tuo aff.mo

Gio. Bottesini
