Carry this letter to Father Bonaventura, of Lodi, in our convent

at the eastern gate of Milan; he will be to you a father, will

advise you, and find you work, until you can return to live here

tranquilly. Now, go to the border of the lake, near the mouth of

the Bione" (a stream a short distance from the convent); "you

will see there a small boat fastened; you must say, 'A boat;' you

will be asked for whom, answer, 'Saint Francis.' The boatman will

receive you, will take you to the other side, where you will find

a carriage, which will conduct you to --. If any one should ask

how Father Christopher came to have at his disposal such means of

transport by land and by water, he would show little knowledge of

the power possessed by a capuchin who held the reputation of a

saint."
