              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;~Prov&lt;em&gt;incia &lt;/em&gt;Rom&lt;em&gt;ana&lt;/em&gt; – Reggio 25 apr&lt;em&gt;ile &lt;/em&gt;1833.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;F&lt;em&gt;ratello &lt;/em&gt;Scol&lt;em&gt;astico &lt;/em&gt;Gius&lt;em&gt;eppe&lt;/em&gt; Manfredini.~&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Molto R&lt;em&gt;everen&lt;/em&gt;do in Padre Nostro&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Vengo da V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; M&lt;em&gt;olto &lt;/em&gt;R&lt;em&gt;everenda &lt;/em&gt;a sciogliere e ad adempire un voto conceputo, approvato, e fatto il giorno sacro della Pentecoste dello trascorso anno, cioè &lt;u&gt;di chiedere dentro un anno le Sacre Missioni&lt;/u&gt;. Veramente io stupisco, come mai il Signore benignissimo siasi degnato di mettermi in cuore un tal desiderio fino dacchè chiesi la Compagnia nell’età di quattordici in quindici anni, e me l’abbia sempre mantenuto, e tanto più ardente, quanto più mi sento colla sua grazia stretto alla sua Croce. Fui altre volte per chiedere; ma la considerazione del mio scarso talento, delle mie scarsissime abilità, della debole e fiacca memoria per imparar lingua straniera mi ha sempre rattenuto ad invidiare la sorte di que’ fortunati, che da V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;furono mandati a metter anime in Cielo. L’anno passato però, non so il perché, o forse perché cominciai qualche poco ad esercitare lo zelo, massime in occasione del terremoto, o forse perché quei pochi disaggi sofferti, li accettai volentieri; la divina bontà me lo accese sì ardente questo desiderio delle Missioni, che proposi far voto di chiederle: quanto mi fu approvato dal mio Padre Spirituale, ed espostolo al mio Superiore, mi consigliò rivolgermi dirittamente a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità&lt;/em&gt; M&lt;em&gt;olto &lt;/em&gt;R&lt;em&gt;everenda: &lt;/em&gt;ciò che intendo fare con questa mia.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Conosco di non meritare in verun conto una tanta grazia: giacché per si fatti ministeri si richieggono uomini di gran virtù e sapere, delle quali cose io sò poverissimo: ciò non pertanto, considerando che non inutilmente il Signor Dio suol dare cotali desideri, e che dei più deboli e vili strumenti si serve talora per propagar la sua gloria, mi da cuore e mi fa sperare di poter essere anch’io nel beato numero di coloro, i quali le forze la sanità, e la vita stessa danno pel nobil fine di salvar anime.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;che se V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;bramasse sapere a quel parte io inclinassi; propenderei per gli Stati-Unit, ed in quanti ancora tra gl’Indiani. Con tuttociò indifferente a qualunque luogo.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;A quiete della mia coscienza prega V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;M&lt;em&gt;olto &lt;/em&gt;R&lt;em&gt;everenda &lt;/em&gt;scrivendo al mio&lt;span&gt; R&lt;em&gt;everendo &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;adre &lt;/em&gt;Rettore di manifestarmi, se abbia ricevuta questa mia, onde resti sicuro il voto essere adempito: mentre la stima, la venerazione, e l’ossequio baciandole la reverenda mano sono&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Di V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;M&lt;em&gt;olto &lt;/em&gt;R&lt;em&gt;everenda&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
