Mi fu difficilissimo in questi giorni radunare in seduta i miei Consoci, e ciò le spieghi l’involontario ritardo. Mi duole assai dirle che quantunque da me appoggiato, il progetto non venne accolto, per cui non posso dare seguito alla trattative [sic].
Mi auguro d’essere più fortunato con Lei in altra occasione, ed intanto con stima pregio ripetermi

It was extremely difficult in this period for me to call a meeting with my fellow Shareholders, which is the reason for this involuntary delay. I am quite sorry to inform you that, despite my support for this project, it was not approved, and that consequently I am unable to proceed with negotiations.
I nonetheless hope to be able to conduct business with you on some other occasion, and meanwhile with respect, I remain
Yours most sincerely, Giulio Ricordi
