&lt;p&gt;? Soli!!!&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Molto Reverendo in Cristo Padre Nostro&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Pietoso Dio, io spregiai la tua legge quando mi viveva fra le tenebre del peccato, fra le vanità del mondo, fra i lacci del demonio, ed ora vi offro pel mal fatto tutto me, e mi getto nelle vostre paterne braccia, per voi corro generoso ad incontrare pericoli, affanni, e la morte ancora. Ma caro, o Signore, mi sarà il morire per recarmi a dar luce a miseri per cui voi su la Croce spargeste il sangue. Queste e simili voci innalzerei al mio Dio, se ella mi concedesse l'abbandonare questo terreno sì pietoso ed immondo, e condurmi invece ad abitare altra terra.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Vorrei almeno dar termine a' miei studi nell'America, ed incominciare ad addestrarmi con la gente di quelle parti a parlare la lingua di quel Paese, e adoperarmi a bene di quelle anime. E per porgere loro presto sovvenimento con candore di sentimenti le dico essere io disposto a lasciare gli studi, e con quel poco di cognizione che mi ho incamminarmi verso le terre degli infedeli barbari.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;In somma io bramo ardentemente di fare sacrifizio di tutto me a Dio, e di spendere i giorni della mia vita a pro de' barbari, e per tal fine mi ho mutato il nome, e mentre prima mi chiamava Achille, ora mi chiamo Francesco Saverio il grande che spero nella grazia dell'Altissimo imitare per fatti. La prego che degni di farmi una risposta di consolazione ma presto, se non le recherà noia perché veramente io sono in pena, e non posso confortarmi. Ella certamente il potrà, ed io si lo spero. Non voglio intanto noiarla con più parole, onde senz'altro con pienezza di riconoscenza, e di filiale affetto, e con profondo rispetto mi segno della Paternità Vostra molto Reverenda&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Umilissimo ed obbedientissimo suddito e figlio nel Signore&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Francesco Saverio Maria Ruta della della Compagnia di Gesù&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di Aquila 18 Aprile del 44&lt;/p&gt;</text>
