The Renewal of the Order redone 2018

45 Documents I may write letters to Rev. Chelmicki and to Duchess Plater. She knows Margrave Wielopolski well. 6 Her relative is the Margrave’s wife. I know more people, but I am told that it is not a good thing to get too many people involved. The authorities might think that this is some extraordinarily […] b important matter and they would create obstacles. Therefore, influence should be used with moderation. My friend and I will take care of everything we possibly can in St. Petersburg. I intend to be in Warsaw during the Christmas season. So, if the Dear Father agrees to admit us to your Congregation, we shall begin to care about it together, joining each other in prayer. I hope that, through the intercession of the Most Holy Virgin, we shall pray and receive what we wish for from the Lord God. I started to write this letter yesterday, which here was the holy day of the Virgin’s birth. Let us hope that she will intercede with God for the Renewal of the Marian Order. In the meantime before that happens, I beg you, Dear Father, to keep everything in deepest secrecy, especially my name so that its disclosure doesn’t bring harm to the cause. Moreover, I would like to receive one copy of the Marian Rule. I beg you to answer as soon as you can if the Dear Father intends to make use of our intention and our proposal. I recommend myself and my friends to the prayers of the Dear Father and I humbly kiss his hands. Rev. Jerzy Matulaitis LVA, set 1674, inv. 2, vol. 97, draft, in Lithuanian. 6 Wielopolski, Zygmunt Margrave Gonzago Myszkowski (1863-1919), since 1905 President of the Party of Real Politics. b Two words illegible.
