Verdi, Giuseppe AUTOGRAPH LETTER, PROBABLY TO HIS AGENT MAURO CORTICELLI, 16 FEBRUARY 1875 written in a characteristically sarcastic manner, remarking on the quite unnecessarily voluminous packet he had received, making him expect to find inside it a diploma or something equally grand, rather than such a useless letter, commending him on enriching the Italian Post Office by putting ten stamps in it, wishing rather that he employed his much-vaunted skills as a man of affairs in securing better deals with the doctor, local traders, the house staff, stable-boys etc, to all of whom he allows far too much leeway, so that they look quizzically at him asking "why do you let your manager act like this?"; Verdi asks him to reply by simply sending a telegram, informing him whether the works are suspended and if the weather is still cold, which would be more helpful than his last telegram saying "Letter received and understood" ("...tu sembri edificato dei tuoi frequenti viaggi, ma se tu avessi saputo fare per esso ribassare il prezzo al Cremonese, o le idee a Barattieri, allora ne vedrei anch'io l'utilità...perchè questa gente non può a meno di dire "Infine il uomo d'affari tratta come Lui?!"...Cosa it pare? Di questo riparleremo!...") 3 pages, 8vo, no place, 16 February 1875
