I have found it being of the utmost importance to inform you of all the ghastly things that are going on here in Florence, Italy. I have already buried my five children and wife, though I am sure that the hounds have unearthed them and devoured their putrid bodies. As we have just recently escaped a famine that had killed a huge crowd of the population here. Neighbors, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters are abandoning each other leaving small children and even infants unaided. When my wife was still alive and had just begun the symptoms of the Great Plague, her body was turning black and bruised looking.
