"Having now sufficiently seen and considered the proofs of all those who count themselves masters and inventors in the instruments of war, and finding that their invention and use does not differ in any respect from those in common practice, I am emboldened … to put myself in communication with your Excellency, in order to acquaint you with my secrets" 

1.I can construct bridges which are very light and strong and very portable with which to pursue and defeat an enemy

2.I can also make a kind of cannon, which is light and easy of transport, with which to hurl small stones like hail

3.I can noiselessly construct to any prescribed point subterranean passages either straight or winding passing if necessary under trenches or a river

4.I can make armored wagons carrying artillery, which can break through the most serried ranks of the enemy

5.In time of peace, I believe I can give you as complete satisfaction as anyone else in the construction of buildings, both public and private, and in conducting water from one place to another.

6.I can execute sculpture in bronze, marble or clay. Also, in painting, I can do as much as anyone, whoever he may be.

7.If any of the said things should seem impossible or impractical to anyone, I offer myself as ready to make a trial of them in your park or in whatever place shall please your Excellency, to whom I commend myself with all possible humility.
