Letter 9132: I am directing you to send, via Vitulus who carries this letter, the item or items intended for Adeodatus the abbess.

You are to know that the ship in which Vitalis, the bearer of these presents, is sailing has been dispatched on behalf of the support of our most beloved daughter Adeodata, the abbess, for the maintenance of her monastery. When it arrives there, we charge you by this our authority that you so protect it in all things, and make haste to excuse and exempt it from every requisition or burden, as if it belonged to us in particular. For, as you know, so great a congregation is shown to dwell in that same monastery, God being favorable, that we should make haste to give comfort and assistance to it more than to our own church in all things. And therefore, since your Experience knows that such is our will concerning the aforesaid monastery, let it so exert itself in the protection of the often-mentioned ship, as we have said, that, with you stationed there, it may not have to endure any delay or hindrance from anyone. For if, which we do not believe, you should attempt to be negligent in any matter, you will vehemently incur our displeasure.

Mavem in qua Yitalis praesentium portitor navigat ad* dilectissimam liliam nostram Adeodatam abbatissam pro sustentatione monasterii sui emissam'* cognoscas. Qua" illic veniente hac tibi auctoritate praecipimus^, ut ita eam in cunctia tuearis atque ab omni angaria vel onere exocre excusarequc festines, ac si Bpecialiter nostra sit. Nam aicut noeti*, tanta in eodem monasterio Deo propitio degere oongregatio comprobatur, ut plua illi solaciari atque concurrere quam nostrae in omnibuB festinemua ccclesiae. Et ideo postquam voluntatem nostram experientia tua circa praedictum monasterium talem eBse cognoscit', ita' in tuitione se'' eaepc dictae, sicut diximus, navis impendat, ut te illic posito nullam ilHc moram vel impedimentum ab aliquo valeat Bustinere. Nam si, quod' non credimus, in aliquo ncglegcns eBse temptaveris, vcbementer te noatram n ofTensam incurrere. TX, 131 in liluto: HanriUno Cl; MnriiiiAnn corr. poil. nt. in Maiiriano C2; i» arg.
