In parts:
"Pregiatissimo Signore
Le mando lo spartito della Scena - Il Coro non e indispensabile - Ho messo le parole italiane che Lei potra cambiare come le piace.
Non avendo che questa copia la prego di ritornamela subito - Nel caso poi che non le convenisse la scena le sarei obbligato di farmelo sapere ..."

Translated:
"Most precious Lord
I send you the score of the Scene - The Chorus is not essential - I put the Italian words that you can change as you like.
Not having a copy of this, I beg you to return it to me immediately - If it does not suit you, you would have to let me know..."
