              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Molto Rev&lt;em&gt;eren&lt;/em&gt;do in C&lt;em&gt;ris&lt;/em&gt;to P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re N&lt;em&gt;ost&lt;/em&gt;ro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Corre il quinto anno da che manifestai a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;il mio desiderio per le missioni estere; e le porsi calde preghiere perchè volesse inviarmi a faticare a vantaggio degli infedeli in qual si fosse parte del mondo. Da quel tempo in poi non ho cessato di offerire al signore l’opera mia e la vita, pronto ad eseguire in tutto il divin volere nell’intero adempimento della volontà dei miei Superiori. Mi ha sempre incoraggiato ad una tale offerta il riflettere che la divina sapienza suole spesso valersi dei più deboli e spregevoli strumenti per recare ad effetto i suoi disegni; e lo stesso pensiero mi ha fatto sempre concepire una ferma speranza che il Signore, accettando l’offerta, sarebbe per appagare il mio desiderio. Or già mi vien detto da questo R&lt;em&gt;everendo&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;ad&lt;/em&gt;re Provinciale che V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; è molto inclinata ad inviarmi alla missione dell’Arcipelago; mi vien soggiunto però che non ha dato tuttora decisione alcuna. Io non so come ringraziare V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; dell’essersi degnata di mostrare per me sì fatta inclinazione; molto meno poi so come pregarla perchè voglia avermi presente quando le sarà in grado di darne la sospirata decisione. Intanto io qui non tralascio di far voto al Signore per la conservazione di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; a comun bene della Compagnia, e per l’adempimento dei divini voleri riguardo al mio destino.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;M&lt;em&gt;olto&lt;/em&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everendo&lt;/em&gt; P&lt;em&gt;adre&lt;/em&gt; Giovanni Roothaan&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
