Adventure of [[Buffalora]]

he thought himself in gratitude
bound to return to Milan to speak
a word in their fav'r [favor] to the Fermiers
generaux; who had complyd with his
Petition, & they would probably that
day recieve a Message or Invitation
to come to Milan, in order to recieve

eno' [enough] the force of his Elocution, & said
they were obliged to him for ye [the] Honour
he had done them, & should hold
themselves in readiness to obey the
Summons wheneever they recieved it -

with Cap in hand, & a held up like a
poised firelocks, ~~pale~~ disturbed Counte-
-nances & a trembling of their limbs, they
received his Message, but whether this was
excess of Joy, or whether their former Triumph
was alloyd with Secret apprehensions of an
unlucky Event, I believe w'd [would] be no difficult matter
to determine -
