Letter 5013: Ad eundem pro pomis et grafiolis

To Gregory, for Apples and Grafts Noble in holy duties, holy and lofty Gregory, absent you are present through your gifts, highest father: you send me parents with their own offspring — rootstock together with fruit, shoots and apples at once. May almighty God grant that you, filled with the fruit of your merits, may eagerly gather the good things that paradise holds.

XIII Ad eundem pro pomis et grafiolis Officiis generose piis, sacer arce Gregori, absens fis praesens munere, summe pater: qui mihi transmittis propria cum prole parentes, insita cum fructu: surcula, poma simul. det deus omnipotens, meritorum fruge repletus mala legas avide quae paradisus habet.
