Reverendissime Domine, domine frater et amice admodum carissime.

Sui commendatione praemissa.

Sanitatem Vestrae Dominationis Reverendissimae his meis scriptis viso, quam illi in multos faustosque dies pro voto succedere precor. Iam aliquotiens postulavi scriptis meis Vestram Paternitatem Reverendissimam, ut me de meis negotiis, quid cum eis illic agitur, certum redderet, nec usquemodo responsum habui. Propterea eandem summopere rogo, ut de meis rebus certum me efficere non gravetur, qualiter procedunt et si bonum suscipient finem. Et cum iam facto expeditae erunt, oro, ut quamprimum habere possim. Rem in hoc mihi admodum gratissimam factura et proinde quicquid iubebit recompensae acceptura.

Valeat optime ac felicissime Vestra Dominatio Reverendissima meque solito amet.
