&lt;p&gt;Molto Reverendo in Cristo Padre&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;P&lt;em&gt;ax&lt;/em&gt; C&lt;em&gt;hristi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Per mostrarle come il Signore si degna di conservarmi ed accrescermi continuamente i desiderii delle Missioni esterne, e specialmente per la Cina, io vengo un'altra volta in quest'anno a gettarmi con una lettera ai piedi di Vostra Paternità. Io mi confido che Ella si potrà ricordare talora anche di me in pensando alle disposizioni che dee prendere per quelle parti: a me ne furono certo pegno (del quale le rendo cordialissime grazie) quei saluti che per mezzo di questo nostro P&lt;em&gt;adre&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;Rettore si degnò di caramente mandarmi, e quelle congratulazioni, e conforti con cui erano accompagnati. Chè sebben questi non erano se non di attendere con non minore impegno per ora al presente mio uffizio, di quello con che desidero tali Missioni, pure egli non mi suggerì Vostra Paternità se non il mezzo migliore per prepararmivi e per meritarle. E se ubbidirò a tali conforti, come secondo la mia pochezza procuro, tanto più facilmente posso sperar che il Signore Le faccia fermar l'occhio e la mente sopra di me, per compartirmi la grazia desiderata. Perché più muovono gli esempii delle persone a noi meno straniere, e la Divina Provvidenza talvolta si vale pur di tali mezzi a' suoi fini, Le dirò che sempre più sento accendermene il desiderio sì nel sentire ciò che fanno i Missionarii nostri Confratelli, sì anche nel leggere o sentir portare dal sì gran bene che fa nella provincia di Nanchino col suo zelo e tenera carità quel Monsignor Besi, del quale io nacqui concittadino, e cui ebbi occasione già di conoscere. Potrei io confidare, o molto Reverendo Padre, di più poterlo rivedere in quelle parti? Dopo Dio dipende da Lei il poter io ottenere che in tali luoghi or dal Cielo così&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;così benedetti possa trovarmi (ma direi pochissima cosa, dicendo a rivedere una persona) a lavorar nella vigna Apostolica. Faccia la Divina Misericordia che io me sia degno, e me lo impetri la Beatissima Madre Maria, e quel santo Fratello, il P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Giovanni Berchmans, sotto la cui speciale protezione io feci e rinnovo tale preghiera. Mi basta soltanto di tener questa in memoria a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; Paternità molto R&lt;em&gt;everenda&lt;/em&gt;, e raccomandandomi ai suoi S&lt;em&gt;antissimi&lt;/em&gt; Sacrificii ed orazioni, e baciandola ossequiosamente la mano, La riverisco&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; Paternità molto Reverenda&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Infimo Figliuolo in Cristo&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
