The dispatch is written aboard a galley in a very delicate moment of the failed expedition against Algiers, one of the Barbary strongholds, in which Charles V himself participates. Due to a violent storm that destroyed part of the fleet, the land army, of which Ferrante is one of the commanders, had to retreat with heavy losses, and on 2 November the difficult re-embarkation operations were concluded. The emperor then orders Ferrante to send the remaining infantry partly to Lombardy and partly to Sardinia.
