Reverendissime in Christo Pater et Domine, frater et maior observande.

Salutem et mei plurimam commendationem.

Cum hic servitor Reverendissimae Dominationis Vestrae huc divertisset, nolui praetermittere, quin de mea valetudine, de qua scio Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram esse sollicitatam, aliquid scribere. Recidiva mea, de qua nuper scripsi, post duos paroxismos me reliquit. Utinam nunquam reversura, nam corpus aliquantulum adhuc male affectum, aurae paulo immitioris valde est impatiens. Vires per Dei gratiam sunt integrae et spero brevi perfectam salutem.

Memini Reverendissimam Dominationem Vestram non semel d pro suo in me amore dixisse. Qui Ei, qui me laeserit, non cum uno, sed cum duobus rem fore.
