If we do not go to help, the true servants of God in the East will not be able to survive. I therefore urge and beg you who are the voices of Christ, both rich and poor, to drive the foul vermin (pests) from the lands where your Christian brothers live and to bring speedy help to the worshippers of Christ … Promise your support without delay.
