&lt;p&gt;Molto Reverendo in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to Padre Generale&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Poiché vostra paternità non ha molto tempo da perdere, le dichiaro con la maggior brievità che io posso i miei sentimenti. Fin dal mio noviziato concepì un acceso desiderio di andare alle missioni: ma ho sempre giudicato, che riuscirebbe più opportuno manifestarlo a vostra paternità dopo il compimento de' miei studî. Colla venuta del P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; procuratore di America mi si è ridestato cotesto desiderio, ed avendolo voluto attentamente esaminare; ho conosciuto che quantunque partendo io adesso per l'America non potrei andare alle missioni, farei nondimeno un sacrificio a Dio, la cui offerta poco mi costerebbe in avvenire. A me pare che Iddio mi richiegga d'un tale sacrifizio; resta che egli per mezzo di vostra paternità più apertamente mi manifesti il suo volere. Procurerò adunque di dispormi a questa offerta aspettando per la esecuzione il cenno di vostra paternità. La prego ad avermi presente nelle sue orazioni ed accettarmi quale mi glorio di essere&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;della pat&lt;em&gt;erni&lt;/em&gt;tà Vostra figlio osse[&lt;em&gt;rvantissi&lt;/em&gt;]mo ed infimo servo&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
