Our
Retreat (on Monte Argentario) is finished by this time and breathes
devotion in every part. If there was not this lack of money, we could
enter by the (Feast of the) Presentation, but we lack lumber for the
doors and windows. If you can find any there where you are, or obtain
any in Marciana, it would be a great charity. Then it would be our task
to have it brought here, in case you cannot load a small amount of
lumber. Others
wish to come, but the Retreat is unfinished. How much we would rejoice
over a small supply of seasoned wood! Speak about this to your uncle and
greet him in my name. It is not necessary that the wood be seasoned.
