LETTER FROM CARDINAL WOLSEY TO LORENZO DE' MEDICI

The following letter has been lately printed by the Marchese Caponi, in the _Archivio Storico Italiano_, vol. I., p. 472, from the original in his possession:--

To the most illustrious and most excellent Prince our Lord
Lorenzo de' Medici, Duke of Urbino, dear to us as a brother.

Most illustrious and most excellent Lord Duke, dear to us
as a brother,

The Signor Adriano, your Excellency's servant, has
delivered your most courteous and kind letters addressed
to us, on eagerly perusing which we recognised with great
satisfaction your Excellency's friendly dispositions in
our behalf. We have in consequence received the said
Signor Adriano with the greatest possible civility, and
have freely offered and promised him our every favour and
support in all places and circumstances. Having learned
that your Excellency takes no small pleasure in dogs,
we now send you by your said servant some blood-hounds
[_odorissequos_], and also several stag-hounds of uncommon
fleetness, and of singular strength in pulling down their
game. And we farther specially beg of you to let us know if
there be anything else in this famed kingdom that you would
wish; and should you in future boldly make use in your
affairs of my assistance, good-will, and influence, such as
it is, whether with his Majesty my sovereign, who is most
favourably disposed towards you, or with any other person
whatsoever, you will find me willing and ready to oblige
you. May you be preserved in happiness. From our palace in
London, the 28th of June, 1518.

As your Excellency's brother,

T. CARDINAL OF YORK.
