From dealer's description: "16 November 1585 (incorporating letter dated 9 November 1585). Reports on the prices of different qualities of fustian at Cremona and the business activities of Corsini's competitors. The letter of 9 November 1585 includes reports on Flemish wools, and fustians purchased for Corsini at Cremona. On 16 November 1585 Cipelletti discusses a shipment of silk, together with management of numerous business accounts, with notes concerning deals transacted for Corsini with merchants in Milan, Verona, and Vicenza. The spread of the plague in Germany is cited as a possible cause in the delaying of a shipment."
