Letter 9092: The bearer of this letter is Peter, a man of excellent character, who travels with his mother.

Since we presume thus much upon the sincerity of your Glory, that we believe you reckon as your own those who are ours, to Peter, the magnificent man and bearer of these presents, this alone could suffice to be indicated for earning the favor of your goodness: that he is ours. But since a fatherly commendation is wont always to kindle the mind of a good son, with fatherly affection we ask, as we send our greetings, that you show to our aforesaid son, and to his mother, our glorious daughter, the favor of your patronage, and that you both cherish them, settled there as they are, with the relief of your protection, and assist them, when they come to us, with your aid; so that, while your Glory bestows, with our letter intervening more kindly, those things which it is accustomed of itself to grant, it may both seem to render its customary service in praiseworthy fashion and may, for its own goodness, make us in all things its debtors of thanks. [The remaining lines of the manuscript consist of editorial apparatus and fragments of subsequent letters (IX, 93-96) and are not part of this letter.]
