Petitions for faculties
Copy of a letter from the secretary of PF to the nuncio to France, Francesco Nerli. The PF secretary [Federico Baldeschi] writes that he gave a package to the procurator of the Scottish mission [William Lesley], with the faculties for the new prefect and for Alexander Lesley. The procurator dared to take out the patents, which was possibly in order to send them directly to Scotland instead of via the nuncio in France; instead they were separated from the letter to the nuncio. The secretary does not know what to think about this incident, but he will keep it in mind. The letter dated 18 October 1672.

Tunis
Copy of a letter from PF secretary [Urbano Cerri] to Jean Le Vacher. He writes that he cannot understand why [Marcello] Costa is asking for a provision before his arrival at his new mission in Bizerte, since provisions are only given from the day of arrival. The secretary also does not understand why Costa wants to receive two provisions, one for Bizerte and one for Tunis; Costa is only supposed to go to Bizerte, and if Jean Le Vacher needs a new missionary for Tunis, PF would be happy to send one. PF asks Jean Le Vacher to make Costa change his plans. The letter dated 4 November 1673.

Copy of a letter from PF secretary [Urbano Cerri] to Marcello Costa. The secretary tells him that the cardinals will be displeased to hear that Jean Le Vacher has given him the provision of 30 scudi, before he even arrived at his new mission in Bizerte. Usually the provision starts from the day that PF receives confirmation that a missionary arrived at his destination. Therefore PF will not immediately pay the 30 scudi back. The secretary orders Costa to first go to his mission and start reporting from there, providing he wants to receive a provision from PF. The letter dated 4 November 1673.
