Albanian letter addressed to Propaganda Fides

Dear Prefetto

I know very well V.P. how the Holy Convent has ordered me yet Pult Katar brother to serve those of Karshtenav who are still in the area of Pulti, and it has been four years that we have been waiting for them to come and we have not seen their arrival until now, now God has brought down the floor and two, and why didn't they come with all the animals that they need, I urge them from you with their clothes, clothes, books; he saw that they were not young, so with the convention of Father Sebastiane, we were holding him, and we were going to send him away, and we were going to take a bite, and my husband and I were both going to let him go, because we thought that , just like now, they still didn't come to us after today, and we are begging them very hard.

Bane, for the glory of Tinezo, don't leave us without two brothers, because we have many needs and needs, and we are still sending them to Shinte Orate. Still Gash, li 30 di Maggio 1689 [May 30, 1689].
