Letter to the nuncio to France, Nicolò Guidi di Bagno. The nuncio is asked to write to PF describing the difficult situation of the Catholic missionaries in Scotland because of persecution, poverty, the absence of protection and scarcity of priests. The author asks that the nuncio ask for an annual pension for six priests who plan to go there, and especially for two of them who are departing immediately: Gulielmo Bannatisno [William Ballantyne], who has been in Scotland and testifies that these matters are true, and Andrea [Andrew] Hay.
