Il s'appelle Mr. Write, a esté plusieurs fois et souvent longtemps en Italie connoit touts les maistres et leurs ouvrages. Je scay que Lily a eu de luy plusjeurs de ses meilleurs desseins Italiens. Il se connoit aussi fort bien en medailles, agates &c. Demain j'iray chez luy pour voir des choses qu'il dit avoir encore.
