TL;DRAbstract
“The night they [the letters] arrived, the bell being sounded, they were read till one past midnight, and in the refectory on all the following ten days. And immediately, a summary of them being copied, they were sent to China, Japan, the Moluccas and Malaca, and all the other places where our Fathers are. And if you knew, dearest ones, how much the news that comes from there resounds here, and how much the people, beyond the brethren, desires and covets it, and how many relics are here made of your letters, doubtless it seems to me that you would offer yourselves to any bodily hardship to give to the brethren here such pleasant recreation.”– Luis Frois, describing the 1552 reception of Brazil missionary Manuel de Nóbrega's 1549 letters
