Die XVII mensis Maii proxime praeteriti incidi hic Viennae in gravissimam infirmitatem, a qua vix hodie liberatus sum. Fuit periculosissima taliter, ut nemo ex medicis me superstitem fore iudicaret. Valeo utcumque, sed non, ut soleo.

Intelleximus Reverendissimam Paternitatem Vestram ex incendio maximum damnum perpessum esse, ex qua re omnes, quotquot audio, boni, ex animo dolent. Nemo certe est in hac aula, qui non optime favet et precetur Reverendissimae Vestrae Dominationi. Quod ego eidem plurimum faveo, ex debito est, non enim ero immemor umquam, quot beneficiis ubique me affecerit. Nacta aliqua digna occasione me talem exhibiturum polliceor, ut ex voluntate mea cognoscat in ingratum hominem ea non contulisse, hucusque et facultas et occasio defuerunt.
