Poma narancia missa a Paternitate Vestra fuere nobis grata. Sed fuissent multo gratiora, si paulo acriora fuissent. Dulcia namque et aliunde nobis afferuntur, quae iam palatum fastidit. Si contingent acriora dabiturque commoditas mittendi, mittat velimus, rem nobis factura gratam.

Bene valeat Paternitas Vestra.
