&lt;p&gt;Molto Reverendo in Cristo Padre&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Pax Christi&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Con grande piacere dell'animo io colgo questa occasione di mandarle una nuova supplica per ottenere quando che sia, ed al più presto, dalla carità di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; le desiderate Missioni. Consolazione e speranza mi dà il solo immaginarmi di poter mettere piede nella sì vasta, quanto necessitosa Cina, od in altro luogo straniero, dove Le piacesse piuttosto inviarmi, ed ivi operare con libertà bene assai grande per la grazia di Dio, e della Beatissima Vergine che sta assunta alla destra dal suo Divino Figliuolo, per essere potentissima Avvocata anche dell'uomo il più miserabile. A dir vero per altro innanzi che si presentasse questo mezzo di spedire la lettera, mi avea consigliato il P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Rettore di differire la rinnovazione della domanda, perché non troppo si tiene sicuro della mia sanità, essendo io disposto per natura a qualche infiammazione: ma, lasciando pure da parte che io confido nel Signore di ottenere qualunque aiuto anche in ciò, s'egli veramente mi chiami, mi pare di aver dato in quest'anno una prova sufficiente di poter resistere a non piccola fatica, mentre ho atteso insieme ed a fare la scuola di elementi di matematica, ed a studiare da me solo il primo anno di teologia, del quale quale già io diedi l'esame da dieci giorni; senza dir nulla di altre non troppo rare occupazioni, che sopraggiungono straordinariamente. Oltre di ciò il medico stesso di questo Collegio ebbe già da buon tempo occasion di conoscere, e me lo asserì, che io sia di forte fibbra; onde anche naturalmente io spererei di reggere a ciò, che a prima vista non sembrerà forse ch'io possa. Tutto questo io schiettamente Le dico, o molto R&lt;em&gt;everendo&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt;, sì perchè appieno Ella mi conosca, sì perchè più sicuramente mi voglia dare la cara destinazione, che io ardentemente bramo ed aspetto. Iddio frattanto consoli e V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; specialmente, e tutta la Compagnia, come io e tutti ne preghiamo con calore il Santo Spirito, e la lietissima Vergine. Baciandole in fine con ossequioso rispetto e figliale affetto la mano, a' Suoi S&lt;em&gt;anti&lt;/em&gt; Sacrificii ed orazioni molto mi raccomando.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everenza&lt;/em&gt; Infimo Figliuolo in Cristo&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
