Summary
Saying to his recipient that with regard to his young daughter's, the Contessa Teresa's admission to the Convent of the Carmelites, he will receive the copy of a letter written by the Sacra Congregazione to the local Bishop and transmitted to him by Cardinal Paracciani; saying that he has delayed answering his letter in order to be able to give him definite news concerning this matter which has finally been settled, although not without difficulty; (in his own hand) adding that, thanks to God's mercy, he can give him better news about his health.
