ABSTRACT
We are to sleep this night at a very good or rather fine house erected by Cosimo the first for the reception of strangers, I wish he had furnished it, for ‘tis without windows and with very few doors, the furniture just enough to sit down to supper and lie down to sleep, for which our rough and dismal journey has prepared us…
Lady Pomfret, Radiocofani (Tuscany), 15 March 1741.
