Letter 320. To Pedro Juan de Casademonte, Medina, Toledo, May 6, 1580

Personal matters. Good news from Rome. JESUS! May the grace of the Holy Spirit ever be with your Honour. AS I have been ill for some time, I have put off writing, though very anxious to know about your health. Thank God, I am better though still weak, and as my head is in a very bad state, this letter is written by a secretary. I beg you to answer and inform me about the welfare of yourself and Dofia Maria, whose hands I kiss. I must tell you that the hundred ducats are already in Madrid, much to my joy. It is another joy to learn that: the Romans are well and that our affairs are prospering. Will you let me know whether you have had news of our friend the Licentiate Padilla. I am uncertain as to where your reply will find me as I expect to leave Toledo soon. You might address your letter to Segovia. May our Lord have you in His keeping and make you as holy as I desire. Amen. Toledo, May 6. Your unworthy servant, Teresa de Jesus. |
