| Congratulates him on his promotion to the Cardinalate, reciprocating the congratulations received from Bembo when the same grade was conferred upon himself.

| Writes from Carpentras, where he is recruiting himself most pleasantly at ease, after the arduous business which has hitherto occupied him, and is preparing for future toil with Bembo's old friend, and now his colleague, Cardinal Sadoleto, who overwhelms him with kindness. | |
