&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Espongo a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;il desiderio che sento ardentissimo di dedicarmi, e sacrificarmi tutto, e poi tutto al bene delle anime nella Missione delle Indie Orientali. Desiderai sempre le Missioni Estere in generale; ma il desiderio della Missione dell’Indiani mi è nato al sentire che v’era qualche speranza pei Nostro di andarvi, mi si accrebbe al ponderare alcuni tratti della lettera che V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;scrisse a noi tutti, la devozione poi che indegnamente professo al glorioso Apostolo delle Indie me lo accese, e me lo accende in maniera che non mi posso contenere di non dimandare ogni giorno a Dio al più presto possibile l’esecuzione. Mi sono indotto poi a farle adesso palesi queste mie brame, non già per tedio del ministero santissimo ch’esercito di Maestro, cui sono veramente pronto ad esercitare sino alla morte; ma per aver letto nelle nostre Storie parecchie volte esservi stati scelti per le Missioni estere giovani studenti, e persino Novizj, il che non mi toglie affatto la speranza di ottenere anche presto la sospirata Missione, per eseguire quel che dice V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;nella sua lettera, che quei che desiderano tali Missioni le chieggano, per mostrare che i desiderj delle Missioni estere esposti in iscritto a V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;non mi si sono già estinti, ma si accalorano, ed infine perchè ancor questa lettera mi serva di stimolo a profittare in virtù, massime nella Mortificazione interna, ed esterna che mi accorgo essere indispensabilissima per un Missionario.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Se V&lt;em&gt;ostra &lt;/em&gt;P&lt;em&gt;aternità &lt;/em&gt;si degnerà di farmi concepire anco una sola speranza della esecuzione del mio ardente desiderio, sarà indicibile la consolazione che ne proverò, e mi sarà come sprone pel mio profitto spirituale.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Mi raccomando di tutto cuore alle orazioni, e santi suoi Sagrifizi, e coi sentimenti del più profondo rispetto, e di umilissima venerazione mi protesto&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;
