&lt;p&gt;Paternità Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;da&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sono quì a dimandarle una grazia che spero Vostra Paternità non vorrà negarmi dappoichè il Signore con manifesto segno mi ha dato a conoscere il suo santo volere, e mi ha insieme provveduto del necessarissimo mezzo della sanità per poterlo eseguire - La grazia che io caldamente Le chieggo eccola - Sarebbe mio ardente desiderio andare quanto prima in uno di quei collegi, ove nel tempo stesso che si allevano i giovani scolastici negli studii, si addestrano ancora alle missioni coll'apprendervi le lingue necessarie a quelle ed i costumi de' popoli, come ne' colleghi di America, Indie, Cina etc&lt;em&gt;etera&lt;/em&gt;. A ciò dimandare due motivi mi ci spingono, il primo perché trovandomi allora nella necessità di dover parlare lingue straniere, queste con più sollecitudine e perfezione apprenderei, molto più che ora la mente è fresca e giovine - L'altro che in tal modo verrei a staccarmi totalmente non solo da' miei parenti, che trovandomi io vicino mi son sempre attorno o con visite, ovver con lettere, ma anche da quell'affetto naturale alla patria, ed alla nazione tutta; e poi qual consolazione non proverei io mai nel vedermi fin da questo momento dedicato alle missioni, ed averle come in posesso? certo ancorchè io avessi a morire in uno di tai collegi morrei pur contento, giacchè in qualche modo vedrei esaudito il mio desiderio. - Io avea già detto qualche cosa al P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Basile perchè mi volesse seco lui, ma egli mi rispose che per ora no, non bisognando a lui che sacerdoti; per la qual cosa, oltrechè più volentieri andrei in missioni&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;//&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;di selvaggi per così poter tener dietro alle pedate del mio santo avvocato Francesco Saverio, per me grave pena sarebbe il vedermi prolungata la grazia per tanto tempo; e la speranza che in quelle missioni di Dalmazia vi potrebbe essere di ritornare in Italia mi darebbe noia non poca - Io sì, Paternità, desidero dare un taglio generale, e tutto dedicarmi al bene de' poveri abbandonati nelle selve, e vedermi sconosciuto in luoghi sconosciuti. - Ed ecco in breve esposto candidamente a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; il mio desiderio; ed ora non resta altro che voglia esaudirmi, e che a me in queste Feste Natalizie dia la grandissima consolazione di sentirmi dire quel &lt;em&gt;tolle grabatum tuum, et ambula&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Sì me lo faccia udire che io mentre ansiosamente lo sto aspettando, chieggo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; la S&lt;em&gt;an&lt;/em&gt;ta Benedizione, e Le bacio la mano, segnandomi con tutto il rispetto&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
