needed. There are 3000 Hungarians in Moldavia, and the samein the Rumanian Countries. But it's needed at least 10,000Hungarians and 10,000 Kazachs per province.If a civil fight erupted one day, it couldn't be stopped byanyone, because these inhabitants (populi) are waiting for anyreason to be provoked and stand against the audacity of theHungarians. As I heard, the Voivod of that Rumanian Country,together with the people are dreaming of a revolt.

The monk brothersGrigore Vasarhelyi (Varshianus in the letter), Joannes Mediomontanus andPetru Udvarhelyi have been there as well.Original version in Italian: A.

Hereare many catholics, and a Jesuit priest is living here. At Cotnarithere are three churches and many catholics, and two Jesuitpriests. There are two churches in Roman. At Bacau there is amonastery, where the Franciscan monks are living, at Neamtare two churches, at Piatra one, at Baia one, in Satul Nou one,in Suceava two, in Hirlau a church, at Birlad one, at Vaslui one,at Galati one and at Trotusi one.My opinion is, that there are more than 30,000 souls in thesetowns.Original version in Italian, published by N.
