Tornaghi to Bottesini (Genova, 1 Jul 1859)

Hôtel della Lega Italiana. Carissimo Tornaghi, I was hoping this evening to receive the promissory note, but it seems that you were not able to send it to me immediately like I asked you. Don't forget to let me know where this Signor Schiaffino lives and what is his profession, as I have had some difficulty asking information about him. If the name is good, as I don't doubt being on behalf of the Ricordi firm, it will not be difficult to have it endorsed, losing even more of the needed money. Meanwhile I can only wait and ask what time it is as a watch no longer forms part of my dress. Ricordati di me che son fottuto e credimi sempre L'aff.mo tuo amico Gio. Bottesini
