_ 401 _ He was in Flanders with Cardinal Carafa and remained there as agent in his affairs. When the cardinal was exiled, he was recalled and did various errands for Pope Paul. This commission is for Canobio to go to Your Highness and ask you to order the property of the monasteries of Pombeiro and Refolos to be given to him, as agent for Cardinal Borromeo. For this requisition, he has a brief from His Holiness to Your Highness which says that he has allotted the two monasteries to Borromeo and will send Canobio there to take possession of them and collect the income and asks Your Highness to order them to be handed over. He is sending two more briefs to the same effect to our Lady the Queen and to the Lord Cardinal. Borromeo will also write to Your Highness with the same confidence, and I understand that he is sending instructions to Canobio about what he is to do. The Pope has said nothing to me about these things, nor so far has Borromeo, and even though I was talking to him at length about the Pombeiro business on the day that Terracina's departure was announced, he did not let me know anything about what was happening.
