Letter II. To Inés Pascual

Paris, March 3, 1528.

JHUS.

May the true peace of Christ Our Lord visit and protect your soul.

In view of the goodwill and love which in God Our Lord you have always felt for me, and shown me by deeds, I have determined to write this to you, and in it to. 'acquaint you of my travels since I parted from you. With favourable weather and in enjoyment of perfect health, through the grace and goodness of God Our Lord I arrived on the second of February in this town of Paris where I am studying until the Lord otherwise orders me.

I should much wish you to write and inform me if and what Fonseca answered to the letter you wrote to him!, and whether you spoke to him.

Commend me much to Juan 4 and tell him to be obedient to his parents, and to keep the feasts; that by so doing he may fare well upon earth and also in heaven.

Commend me much to your neighbour; (tell her) that her jewels have arrived here; and that her love for and goodwill towards God Our Lord are ever present to me. May the Lord of the world repay her, and through His infinite goodness ever dwell in our souls that His will and desires may ever be accomplished in us*

From Paris, 3rd March, 1528.

Poor in goodness,

IGNIGO.
