Letter 6034: Although Your Greatness requires no elaboration from me, the obligations of friendship require at least a letter.

Although Your Greatness has attested to forgetfulness of me through long silence, and while withholding from epistolary duties has cast aside the memory of one who serves you, nevertheless heavenly providence does not allow your prosperity to be hidden from my desires, and by various signs reveals the success I hoped for concerning you. Yet now my soul has been so far drawn by its bond that I have sent a special bearer to us, who, fed by the living sight, may bring manifest good news back to me. Believe me, my lords, I am bound to you by a great obligation, nor is any rest given to my heart in which I do not seek the sight of you with full attention. It remains that, with concord restored in the Roman Church, the occasion of meeting you may come about. My lord, speaking the fullest greeting to your reverence, I beg that you receive with favorable hearing the petition of the bearer — my man — and that you inform me by his return about your good fortune and the state of your entire household.
