Letter 9071: **From:** Gregory I, Bishop of Rome
To Chrysanthus, Bishop of Spoleto.
That he should grant the relics of Saint Savinus to Valerian, a notary of Fermo.
Gregory to Chrysanthus, Bishop of Spoleto.
Valerian, a notary of the church of Fermo, by a petition presented to us asks that the relics of the blessed martyr Savinus ought to be granted to him, so that an oratory built at his own expense may be solemnly consecrated in that martyr's name. And therefore, most dear brother, it is fitting that, in accordance with our command, you comply with the desires of the aforesaid man, so that the consecration of his devotion which he requests may be carried out to its effect.
