Mio Signore St.mo
Londra
31 Xbre 1823
Non ho mai sperato quant’oggi di rivederla. Mi ero così da me stabilito che oggi dovesse venire. Ma perdo ora ogni lusinga essendo avanzata la notte senza però voler perdere il grato piacere di augurarci benché lontano un buon principio d’anno colmo di tutte quelle felicità che V.S. può desiderare e che porro cooperare al suo ben essere. Tale è il cordiale mio voto e tale è il poco compenso ch’io posso offrirle dopo tanta bontà che Lei mi ha dimostrata.
Quando V.S. partì mi disse che se avevo qualche bisogno lo scrivessi. Ebbene non ho mai avuto il più grande che di avere sue nuove. Abbia dunque la compiacenza di scrivermele e mi dica quando finalmente avrò il piacere di rivederla.
Qui unita avrà una lettera della famiglia testé arrivata ed in attesa di essere favorito passo a dichiararmi con tutto il rispetto
di V.S. Ill.ma Umil.mo ed Obb.mo Servitore
Gio Percij
P.S. In questo momento, che sono le dieci pomeridiane Richard ha affittato la casa per il giorno 10. dell’entrante genajo. Ella avrà la compiacenza di dirmi a pronto riscontro come devo dirigermi a suo riguardo e se frattanto che V.S. non venisse prima, io debba prendere una cameruccia per me. A sua regola nella nostra istessa Via ci sono diversi appartamenti d’appigionare, quando a Lei accomodassi di più. Insomma attenderò i suoi ordi e nuovamente ho l’onore di professarmi

My Esteemed Lord
London
December 31, 1823
Never have I hoped as much as today to see you again. I had so convinced myself that you should come today. However I am now losing all hope since it is late without, nevertheless, wishing to lose the great pleasure of wishing you although you are far away a good start to the year filled with all the happiness that Your Lordship could desire and that I might be able to contribute to your well-being. Such is my warm wish and such is the small recompense which I can offer you after all the goodness Your Lordship has shown me.
When Your Lordship left you told me that I should write if I had any needs. Well I have never had a greater need than to receive news from you. Do me thus the courtesy of writing to me and tell me at last when I shall have the pleasure of seeing you again.
You shall find enclosed a letter from the family which arrived just now and as I await to receive your favour I declare myself with all respect
Your Most Illustrious Lordship’s Most Humble and Obedient Servant
Gio Percij
P.S. At this moment, ten o’clock in the evening Richard has rented the house for the day of 10th of the coming January. Please be so kind as to tell me promptly how I should act in this regard and whether, as long as Your Lordship does not arrive sooner, I should take a small room for myself. For your information in our own street there are various apartments to rent, when it best suited you. In short, I shall await your orders and once again I am honoured to profess myself
