We herewith transmit you a letter, received by us, from Don Leonardo
Vidal, assistant to a founder of cannon, and a resident in this city. We
hereby commission you to summon him to appear before you, and ascertain
according to form whether the letter be his, causing him to specify
clearly every circumstance of person, place, and time, relating thereto.
This done in due form, and before a Presbyter in your confidence to

along with these papers. Our Lord preserve you many years.
