Et ne tempus necessario longius decurrat, praesentibus litteris iam addit Rescriptum quo Indulgentiae pro sollemniis Sanctuarii conceduntur, sub condicione approbationis ex parte Excellentissimi Episcopi Dioecesani. Ita confidit Sacra Paenitentiaria laudando zelo pastorali Excellentissimi Episcopi et Reverentiae Tuae desideratum auxilium praebuisse, et animabus fidelium istius Nationis divinae largitatis emolumentum copiose suppeditasse.

Grata erit Sacra Paenitentiaria Paternitati Tuae admodum Reverendae si, post acceptas has litteras, cum adnexo Rescripto, humanissime rescribere velit utrum facta concessio votis exhibitis satisfecerit, an directa postulatio Beatissimo Patri necessaria visa fuerit.

Hanc occasionem nactus, impensos religiosi obsequii mei sensus Tibi libenter pando meque profiteor

Paternitati Tuae admodum rev.dae addictissimum in Domino famulum
