Summary
Thanking his recipient for their courteous letter regarding the well-known homicide and asserting the Church's right of jurisdiction in the case, in has capacity as Abbot, vis-à-vis their claim of that right based on convention or custom; adding that he, however, does not intend to prejudice in any way the privileges and reasons they may have, and asking them to believe that the fulfillment of his duty of preserving the rights of the Abbey does not concern him less than the avoidance of the slightest damage to them.
