Gregory the Great (Wisigothic) → Fortunatus
Tradução moderna em inglês
The bearer of this letter is Fuscus, abbot of a monastery known to us, who has undertaken this journey in pursuit of his community's needs. I commend him and his monastery warmly to Your Fraternity. Please receive him with the hospitality his office deserves and assist him in whatever he requires. A bishop who supports the monastic life in his diocese waters a plant that will bear fruit for the whole church.
