&lt;p&gt;Il vivo desiderio di tutto sacrificarmi a chi devo, di faticare nella vigna del Signore, di esperimentare gli effetti della povertà, mi sforza a pormi novellamente ai piedi di Vostra Paternità Molt&lt;em&gt;o&lt;/em&gt; Reverenda, e di nuovo innovare le preghiere, replicare le istanze, che mi voglia aver presente e consolare i diuturni desiderii d'un suo figlio. La Missione a qualche popolo barbaro, rozzo, idolatro, in cui ci sia molto da faticare, e da esercitare assai l'umiltà forma tuttora il caro oggetto de' miei più caldi voti, delle mie preghiere e speranze, l'anima de' miei studii, la meta de' miei sospiri, il dolce mio conforto. Deh, mi sia propizia, e memore sarò sempre di tanto favore. - Io sono sanissimo, e ne' trè anni, chè già sono in questa Compagnia d'amore, non ho sofferto nè breve, nè lunga malattia, e però parmi di trovarmi in tal essere da poter reggere ad ogni comechè grave fatica.... Ma che [monta], che intere sieno le forze corporali, se mancano le spirituali?.. Dove sono le virtù necessarie a tanto ministero? A tal dimanda non so veramente che rispondere; trovo bensì gran materia di confondermi e d'umiliarmi, poichè molto freddo sono nell'amore di nostro Signore e pieno di volontarie miserie. -&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Tuttavia Nos&lt;em&gt;tro&lt;/em&gt; Signore mi mette in cuore una tal confidenza, che mi fa sperar di potere io pure far qualche progresso nel cammino della virtù. Frattanto pieno di fiducia di vedermi quanto prima esaudito, e perciò stesso allegrissimo, mi raccomando di cuore ai suoi S&lt;em&gt;antissimi&lt;/em&gt; Sacrifici, mentre baciandole la mano, ne imploro la paterna benedizione godendo di chiamarmi umilmente qual sono&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;di Vost&lt;em&gt;ra&lt;/em&gt; Pat&lt;em&gt;ernità&lt;/em&gt; Mol&lt;em&gt;to&lt;/em&gt; Reverenda&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Infimo Servo e figlio&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Giovanni Mai della&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
