Summary
Saying to his recipient that our Lord (the Pope) is of the opinion as a rule not to change the usual order of the tribunals and to let the cases take their course, and that he, therefore, has been unable to obtain the desired hearing; adding that he hopes to have more favorable opportunities to be of service and asking to convey greetings to Sig. Castellano, his uncle, in whose behalf he prays the Lord to give good health to his favorite Roncitelli.
