When he saw, by the signature, that the letter had been written by a lady, he was so surprised that he read it with great interest...he said that he would not have believed that it was written by you if I had not told him so. He praised your letter very highly...because of its pure style of Latin, its accuracy, its display of knowledge that has been gained by study, and its expressions of loving affection. He immediately took from his pocket a portague [a Portuguese gold coin]...to send to you,which he meant to be regarded as a sign and a symbol of his friendly feelings towards you.
