Letter of Luigi Da Palermo, who writes that he is staying in Palermo to help in the ransoming of slaves. He is planning to return to Tunis afterwards. He received a letter from Gio' Leuascier [Jean Le Vacher] containing three copies of letters from CM: a) one about the confirmation of Luigi Da Palermo's faculties for the mission of Tunis; b) the second about Antonio da Saraveza [Antonio Di Seravezza], who pretends to be an apostolic missionary in Tunis; and c) the third about the French consul of Tunis, with whom Jean Le Vacher has a conflict. Luigi Da Palermo also writes that there are only two priests in Tunis, Antonio Di Seravezza and Elzeario Da Marseglia. The latter is French and therefore imprisoned because there is a ongoing war with France; hence this is why he asks for the permission to return to Tunis with four new priests. Its noted that he will be staying in Palermo until the answer arrives.
