Letter 5013: Ad eundem pro pomis et grafiolis

XIII To the same man, for apples and little grafts Noble in your devout services, Gregory, holy in your citadel, though absent you are made present by your gift, most exalted father: you who send to me the parent stocks together with their own offspring, the grafted slips together with their fruit, the shoots and the apples alike. May God almighty grant that, filled with the harvest of your merits, you may eagerly gather the apples that paradise holds.

XIII Ad eundem pro pomis et grafiolis Officiis generose piis, sacer arce Gregori, absens fis praesens munere, summe pater: qui mihi transmittis propria cum prole parentes, insita cum fructu: surcula, poma simul. det deus omnipotens, meritorum fruge repletus mala legas avide quae paradisus habet.
