&lt;p&gt;M&lt;em&gt;olto&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everendo&lt;/em&gt; in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Generale&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Io reputai aver fatto quanto doveva per quiete di mia coscienza quando manifestai a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenza&lt;/em&gt; che io giudicava volesse Dio esser servito da me nell'America. Credetti però che mi restasse una sola cosa, farle nota cioè a tempo opportuno la mia fermezza in questi sentimenti. Ora un certo timore d'aver mancato a questo obbligo, mi spinge per tranquillità di mia coscienza a scriverle a tal fine queste poche parole.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Fo dunque sapere alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt;, che io sono venuto più d'una volta per dirle che, siccome allora quando a Lei lo manifestai, cosi presentemente, stimo che sia vera voce di Dio quella che mi invita a dimandare la missione all'America. Che temo assai non sia stato l'amor proprio sregolato quello che mi ha fatto credere fin qui ogni tempo inopportuno a fare colla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; questa mia parte. Che qualora sembrasse a Lei di comandarmelo, io anche dentro questo giorno sono pronto a partire, e qualora Ella lo volesse senza neppur salutare i miei parenti. Che finalmente il mio unico desiderio è fare la volontà di Dio, e in questa ho trovato fin qui la tranquillità del mio spirito, e spero che la troverò sempre finché mi resterà filo di vita.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Prendo questa occasione per dirle che ho adempiuto a tutto che la P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; mi mostrò dover fare per l'appagamento de' miei Superiori, e spero che questi non avranno da me ombra di cagione per guardarsi dà fatti miei per l'avvenire.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Dopo ciò sono interamente tranquillo, qualunque cosa la P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; sia per determinare intorno alla mia persona.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Della P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
