He is known to us and is a man deserving of your assistance and hospitality. The journey he is undertaking carries our purpose and our prayers with it. Please receive him with the warmth I have always found in the Frankish nobility, and give him whatever assistance his errand requires. His safe passage and the success of his mission matter to this see.
