It seems to me that you are going very fast in the Tribune, and I'm afraid you're going to overtake the French text in the Journal. Please take care of this.

Attilio Luzzatto on behalf of the Tribune, the sum of seventeen hundred and fifty francs, in one check, which balances the price agreed upon for the purchase in full ownership of the Italian-language translation of my novel Rome".
