A postcard in extravagantly Italianate Spanish gives Giulio Ricordi a blow by blow account of a tumultuous performance in Madrid of his opera Mefistofele: 'Al Prologos se esfondrò el Teatro da le aclamacciones, un bomborlobamento indescriptible !fuera! !fuera! !fuego! !bis! ...'. In other letters, Boito recommends to Ricordi's attention Paolo Martini for a position at the Casa Ricordi, and Professor Augusto Tamburini for a favour, informs him (in more dog Spanish, with the signature 'D. Enrique') that he has been elected a 'gran Membro de la Societad de los Conciertos de Barcelona' and writes with thanks for condolences in a moment of grief, and on social matters. The series of extravagantly expressed letters to Giuditta Ricordi accept or decline dinner invitations -- on one occasion because 'il mio stomaco è decorato, per di dentro, da una gastrite'. (15)
