&lt;p&gt;Essendomi seriamente stabilito da più anni di dedicarmi alle Missioni straniere nel mio grado, non posso occultarne il desiderio nutrito nel mio cuore; e dopo un lungo silenzio, e preghiere al Cielo lo partecipo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;, quale Padre universale di questa Compag&lt;em&gt;ni&lt;/em&gt;a, acciò paternamente si benignasse ad esaudirmi, permettendomi di passare in America, ove spero nel Signore il maggior servigio di Dio, e della Madre N&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ra Compagnia.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;La prevengo, per un dovere, che per alcuni anni fui al servizio Inglese da p&lt;em&gt;ri&lt;/em&gt;mo Sergente, e ne apprese il linguaggio, ed ebbi occasione di fare lunghi viaggi si per mare, che per terra, cosicchè credo, come in effetto l'ho sperimentato, di non patire molta malattia nella mia salute. Dippiù anni sono nella Compagnia conferì con alcuni di questi P&lt;em&gt;adri&lt;/em&gt; per poscia pregarne i Superiori Maggiori; ma che per le passate vicende di questo Regno di Sicilia non si potè mai compire questa mia premurosa brama, come pure io avrei voluto sottoporre a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Quindi prego caldamente V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; ad aggevolarmi sù tale mia risoluzione, e confidentemente desidero la Sua Santa benedizione.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Finalmente mi perdonerà della troppa licenza di annojarla con questa mia. Mi raccomando a' Santi Sacrificj di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; pieno di un profondo rispetto le bacio la mano, e sono&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
