Description
An account of the resource
Copy of a letter from John Walker to the procurator of the Scottish mission in Rome, William Lesley. He writes to have received a letter from the procurator. With this letter Walker wants to underline a few points made in his letter to PF so that Lesley can clarify these for PF. He has left this letter for PF open, so that Lesley can first read it himself. The most important issues are: a) the enormous need of books; b) the achievements of Francis White in the Highlands; and c)the problem of housing within Scotland (particularly in Edinburgh), and outside Scotland, regarding establishing a place where missionaries can retire. He also notes that he has sent a letter to Patrizio Coneo, which will tell Lesley more about the mission. The original letter is dated 16 July 1665.

An account of the resource
Letter from John Walker to [the prefect of PF]. It has been four years since he has not been able to move the left part of his body. He had been forced to leave Aberdeen for Edinburgh, and to stay there for a year to recover his health. He used all his own money and the money he received out of charity for this cause. He could move his right foot again, but did not regain his health. The doctors advised him to go to a warmer climate, and that is why he was no longer able to work in Scotland. He went to London where he met the marquess Huntly and Alexander Visterus [Alexander Winster] who came from Italy. They advised him to go to Padua because there were good doctors there, and they tried to help him. He asks [the prefect of PF for help]. He has worked for 22 years for the Scottish mission, and for a very long time he was the only one that worked alongside Bellentini [William Ballantyne]. He asks for a yearly payment as missionary.

An account of the resource
Letter from John Walker to PF. He is asking PF for help since he is sick. He has been working for the Scottish mission for 22 years, not only has he administered the sacrements and teached the Holy faith, but he also wrote a book defending Catholicism. Four years ago the left side of his body stoped working, that is why he was forced to leave Aberdeen and go to Edinburgh, where he hoped to recover with the help of the doctors. The doctors advised him to go to a warmer climate, that is why he left for London, but it did not help. Walker met Marquess Huntly and Alexander Winster (missionaries to Scotland), who together with the doctors persuaded him to go to Italy. He made the long trip and with only very little money, he reached Padua. Before leaving Scotland he left Davidem Bornetum [David Burnet] in his place as prefect, but he thinks that especially Alexandrum Vinsterum [Alexander Winster] would be very suitable for the mission. Walker does not have any money to live through his old age, and that is why he asked PF to help him.

Description
An account of the resource
Gio' Valchero [John Walker], who used to be the prefect of the Scottish mission, was forced to leave the mission because of health problems (paralysis) and went to Padua. After his health improved, he travelled to Rome. Now he asks PF to give him an allowance to help him repay the debts that he accumulated while recovering, and for his upkeep in this city [Padua]. In the PF summary, more details are provided: two requests were made by Walker. The first request was to replace him with another prefect for the Scottish mission. PF decided that Alessandro Winstero [Alexander Winster] will be the new prefect. The second request was for a subsidy to help him out in his infirmity. PF decided to grant him a one-time payment of 50 scudi. At a later date, the (unnamed) petitioner who submitted the request on Walker's behalf asked for more money in order to help pay for the debts incurred by Walker in Padua; an additional 30 scudi were granted by PF as a result.
Date discussed: 1673-05-08
Additional comments
The petition is undated, but it was submitted sometime in 1672 or, more likely, in the first part of 1673, because John Walker left Scotland in 1672 and the petition was discussed by PF on 8 May 1673.

Description
An account of the resource
Petition on behalf of the Scottish missionaries asking for the reconfirmation of the missionary faculties of the following missionaries, which will expire in 1660: Gulielmo Bannatino [William Ballantyne], Giouanni Valchero [John Walker], Giouanni Smitteo [John Smith], and Tomaso Lumisdeno [Thomas Lumsden]. They also ask for the provisions which should accompany the faculties. The petition was discussed at PF meeting on 30 June 1659, but the notes showing the decision on f. 85v are illegible. The petition is unsigned and undated.
Date discussed 1659-06-30
Additional comments
This petition was probably written by the procurator of the Scottish mission, William Ballentyne, since the handwriting is the same as that of other letters written by him.
