&lt;p&gt;[...] 28 luglio 1846.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Poiché ebbi il piacere di riverire personalmente V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenza&lt;/em&gt; quì in Fermo, quando venne in compagnia del P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; N&lt;em&gt;ostro&lt;/em&gt; Generale, mi avvanzo a pregarla del favore seguente. da qualche tempo mi sento il desiderio d'andare in Ammerica alle Colonie Spagnole per faticare a favore de' quei popoli; il che voglio sperare per vocazione del Signore, cui non ho mancato di raccomandarmi; perciò scrivo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenza&lt;/em&gt; affinchè voglia parlarne al med&lt;em&gt;esim&lt;/em&gt;o N&lt;em&gt;ostro&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Generale per averne la licenza.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Non si spaventi per la mia età, la quale cammina per i 53. anni, poiché sono robusto, mai sono stato malato nella Compagnia, nè con alcun incomodo di salute. Quivi nella Compagnia ho sempre fatto scuola di Fisica e Matematica (e vi sono da soli 5. anni): scuole che &lt;br /&gt;//&lt;br /&gt;pure faceva al secolo; ma sono amante, d'ascoltare le confessioni de' poveri, e di fare i piccioli Cattechismi, ed istruzioni, quantunque incapace dell'alta predicazione. Il numero delle Confessioni ascende a circa sei mila all'anno da me ascoltate.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Ho meco molto libri specialmente di Fisica e Matematica venuti a me dal secolo, dei quali una parte se permette il Superiore, si potranno portare altrove.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Confido nella sua bontà, attendendo riscontro, che spero favorevole e sollecito, onde possa applicarmi allo studio della Lingua. La prego pure di chiedere la benedizione per me al Nostro Padre Generale, e con tutta stima mi raccomando a S&lt;em&gt;uoi&lt;/em&gt; S&lt;em&gt;antissimi&lt;/em&gt; S&lt;em&gt;acrifici&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenza&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Infimo in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to Servo&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Luigi Bigi S&lt;em&gt;ocietatis&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;I&lt;em&gt;esu&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
