• Letter 2 Doctor Bellario wrote in his letter that he

was very ill and he had been with a learned young doctor from Rome when this letter reached him. He had told the young doctor about the quarrel between Shylock and Antonio. They had studied many law books and the young doctor knew what he would say. So Bellario asked the Duke to let the young man stand in his place and give judgement. He also told the Duke in his letter he had never known so young a body with so wise a head.
