" "I am most astonished by what has been written about the [painting] 'Alexander', which is so well done that I must suppose there are not many lovers of art [amatori] at Messina. I am also surprised that Your Lordship [Don Antonio Ruffo] should complain as much about the price as about the canvas, but if Your Lordship wishes to return it as he did the sketch [schizzo] of Homer, I will do another Alexander.. .If Your Lordship likes the Alexander as is, very well. If he does not want to keep it, six hundred florins remain outstanding. And for the Homer [painting] five hundred florins plus the expenses of canvas, it being understood that everything is at Your Lordship's expense. Having agreed to it, would he kindly send me his desired measurements. Awaiting the response to settle the matter.

Additional quotes by Rembrandt
My [dear] Sir: Let me first offer my kind regards. I agree that I should come soon to see how the picture accords with the rest. As regards the price, I certainly deserve 200 pounds for it, but shall be content with whatever His Excellency pays me. And if you, Sir, do not deem it presumptuous, I shall not neglect to requite the favor. Your humble and devoted servant Rembrandt - It [the picture] will show to [the] best advantage in His Excellency's gallery, since there it will be [displayed] in bright light.
Quote in original Dutch (citaat van Rembrandt in Nederlands):
Beeter waert dat (om de veranderin)
den eesel van achteren was / dan dat al de
hoofden iuist wt het stuck sien
dat oock omtrent die boom wat meerder
groente was
1 iosep heft alte swaer en te onbesuist
2 maria most het kindeken wat meerder vieren
want een teeder kint magh sulck duwen niet ve[elen?]
iosep alte kort en dick / syn hooft wast hem wt de [romp?]
sij hebben alle beide al te groote koppen
