Priuli's Santa Marguerita of Raphael
with one of Giorgione, two of Pordenone's
and one of Titian's for 3500
ducats and perchance far less money. That
of Raphael is almost
at the full length, and that
of Giorgione is one of the best that
ever was made by that hand. I
shall not trouble Your Lordship any further
for the present, desiring I may be
continued in Your Lordship's favour as
Your Lordship's
most humble and most
affectionate servant
B Feilding
