[3] Such a fleet, and so well adapted for the grand service of God! And those three apostolic men, going with such zeal--if in such a cause, they have already ended in a death resembling martyrdom, blessed be the Lord!

Your Reverence, being near, will know whether any particular measure is necessary for our interests, etc.
When your Reverence remits the money spoken of above, do not send it through our Father Figueroa.
