With regard to your Fraternity's sincere affection, we are rightly confident that, due to your love of Saint Peter, the prince of the apostles, you will devoutly provide your support to our men, especially as the nature of the case demands it, when you would want to join and work with them all the more, of your own free will.
And so we inform your Holiness that with the Lord;s disposition, we have sent there Augustine, a monk and bearer of this letter, whose zeal and earnestness is well known to us, together with other monks, for the task of saving souls.
