&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Fino dall'Ottobre dell'anno scorso ho manifestato alla Paternità V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; M&lt;em&gt;olto&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenda&lt;/em&gt; come in me ardesse il desiderio di adoperarmi, quando che ella credesse nel Signore opportuno, alla salute delle anime nelle Missioni estere. Ora avendomi il Signore conservato ed accresciuto questo desiderio mi credei in obbligo rinnovare umilmente a lei la mia istanza. E ciò per due ragioni: la prima, perchè crederei di non secondare l'ispirazione del Signore se ora non lo facessi. L'altra perchè con questa vengo a richiamarle alla memoria i sentimenti nella prima alla P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; comunicati, e farle sapere come in me tal desiderio s'aumenti, e mi giovi a[d eser]cizio della virtù: e dirle ancora che, quantunque mi trovi disposto a [qualunque] parte del mondo, sento però particolare inclinazione di adoperarmi al[la salute] dei selvaggi d'America. Il parteciparle tutto questo mi è argomento a [...]ere ch'ella non sia per esaudire le mie suppliche; purché le mie ingratitudini non mi rendano indegno di favore sì segnalato. Confido però che il Signore vorrà compiere sopra di me le sue misericordie, e accordarmi ancor questa grazia che gli domando. Io non ho a comunicarle altro che un sentimento, ed è, che il poterle ora così scrivere mi torna di somma consolazione, cui prego voler ella accrescere colla sua paterna benedizione, e con ogni ossequio mi protesto&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;D&lt;em&gt;i&lt;/em&gt; V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; M&lt;em&gt;olto&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenda&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;L'infimo dei suoi figli&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
