I am still very impressed by the great Miracle that [2] Our Lady worked for you and which I, thank God, saw, having had the good fortune, without knowing it, to find myself in that blessed enclosure. I consider myself very happy to have gone there.

Português (original)

Ahinda estou muito imprecionada com o grande Milagre que [2] Nossa Senhora te fez e eu graças a Deus vi, por ter a dita sem saber de me achar naquele recinto bemdito. Concidero-me muito feliz em lá ter hido.
