慰浣吾心、亦慰浣爾心也；若是者、可不敬乎？

辭別曰：『天主如可、吾當重來。』乃起椗、離依法所、

祈我兄仰體基督、有以慰吾之望、寬吾之心。

仁愛如兄、實令吾歡忭鼓舞、情不自禁；即諸聖之心、亦因兄而獲浣慰焉。

此亦吾儕之所引以為慰者也。不寧惟是、提多因爾等之故精神為之一新、豈第慰而已哉！吾見提多之興高采烈如此、何能不樂其所樂、而雀躍三百耶？

奧乃西弗則屢次予我以寬慰、不以予之縲絏為恥、願主矜恤其闔家大小是祝。

眾議既定、命吾儕乘舟赴義大利乃將葆樂及其他囚犯交付御營巴總儒流。

值兩水交流之處、舟即擱淺、舟首膠定不動、而舟尾為濤瀾擊破。士卒慮囚犯泅水而逸；意欲殺之、但巴總欲救葆樂、阻其計、命泳者躍入水中、先行登岸、

茲欲告慰於兄弟者、即予所遭受之一切、適足促成福音之發揚光大也。蓋予為基督而受縲絏、已為御營內外公認之事。而多數宗主之兄弟、因予之被囚、舉相率鼓其勇氣、再接再厲、以大無畏之精神、弘宣天主之道。

然主若許者我最近必來就爾。其時我所欲知者、非誇者之言、乃欲一測其實際之品德；

爾如曰：『主若願者我儕當可仍在人間、而致力於其事；』則言之得體矣。

同道聞吾儕訊、即至亞比烏市及三館相迓。葆樂見彼等、即致謝天主、精神興奮。既入羅馬城、巴總將眾囚交付御營統領；惟准葆樂得與守卒一人自覓居處。

今蒂茂德自爾處歸來、盛道爾等之信德與愛德、且謂爾等恆以吾儕為懷、渴欲與吾儕相見、正如吾儕之渴望與爾等相見也。兄弟乎、吾於艱苦重重之際、得聞爾等之信德、不勝欣慰、樂以忘憂。爾等如能確乎不拔、抱主以終、則吾儕之生機煥發矣。嗚呼、吾儕在天主之前、因爾而得偌大神樂將何以報答天恩？惟日夜祈求、賜與爾重見、以增補爾之信德耳

常求天主賜以坦途、俾得早日就爾；全知天主、實鑒吾誠。吾渴欲與爾相見、增爾神恩、用堅爾心。實則爾我俱能以信德互相鼓勵、彼此均霑其益也。吾屢擬訪爾、意欲在爾中有所收穫、如在他邦。惟因種種阻礙、迄今未得成行；耿耿此心、尚祈諒詧。

葆樂居於所賃私寓內、已滿二年；凡來見者、悉予接納；毅然闡揚天主之國、教人以主耶穌基督之真諦妙理、沛然而莫之能禦。亦未有人為之阻礙者。

今在此無復發展餘地、且綦欲一償就爾之夙願、擬於赴西班牙途中、順道訪爾、與爾盡數日之歡、然後由爾歡送、壯我行色。
