To all who inspect the present letters, we affirm and attest that we, for the greater glory of Almighty God and the veneration of His Saints, have recognized the sacred particles
from the band of St. Francis de Sales, Bishop and Confessor.
These were reverently taken from authentic places and placed in a silver reliquary of oval shape, secured with a single crystal, properly closed, tied with a red silk thread, and sealed with our seal. They have been entrusted with the permission to keep them, donate them to others, transfer them outside the City, and expose them for public veneration of the faithful in any Church, Oratory, or Chapel.
In witness of this, we have issued these testimonial letters, signed by our hand and fortified with our seal, to be expedited by the undersigned Custodian of Sacred Relics.
Given in Rome, at our offices, on the 7th day of the month of June
In the year 1863.
