Cotonarchi arrived from Iasi, the secretary <strong>of</strong> thePrince, with whom he had a talk during his stay in Suceava,after that he left against his will, because I needed him for theway he preached to the <strong>Hungarian</strong>s. For example, if it happensthat Your Reverence finds a good, <strong>Hungarian</strong> priest in Rome,please nominate him as a missionary <strong>of</strong> the SacredCongregation, <strong>of</strong>fer him the regular stipend to be able to live inthese parts and to stay around me and listen to me, serving inour church; prepare him to be able to come for Christmas tolisten to the confessions <strong>of</strong> these people and to give them theHoly Sacraments, because I don't know the language, onlyGreek, Valachian and Latin. At the present my helper is doinginterpretation and translation, he knows Latin and <strong>Hungarian</strong>, soI can satisfy the <strong>Hungarian</strong>s.
