To his Holiness the Archbishop of Sevilla,

 

My friend, I hope this letter finds you well.

As the Venetian district in Sevilla continues along with purpose, I find it pertinent to get a jump on our relationship of investiture. I have heard many reports of the rich soil and ample workforce available in Hispaniola, and believe that it would be a fantastic opportinity to develop a profitable industry in sugar cultivation.

If this seems like an arrangement that would be acceptable and profitable to both of us, just say the word and I will send my most trusted plenipotentiary to work out the specifics of the deal in Sevilla. We hope this can be the first of many steps in a long and profitable friendship.

 

Yours in faith,

Leonardo Loredan, Serenissimo Principe de Serenìsima Repùblica Vèneta e Duca di Modena e Reggio
