Nov. 21, 1920 Gasparri to Pacelli:
Most Illustrious and Reverend Sir,
I have the pleasure of communicating to Your Most Illustrious and Reverend Excellency that the August Pontiff, upon the proposal of Baron Cramer-Klett, has deigned to send to the students of the “Student House” of Munich one hundred quintali [100-kg units] of pasta of 61% finely sifted wheat. This pasta, which is packed in boxes of 25 to 50 kilograms, fills an entire train car, which is currently being dispatched directly “to the Student House, University of Munich, Bavaria.”
With the request that you alert Baron Cramer-Klett and the Director of the Student House, I gladly prove myself, with distinguished sentiments of sincere esteem, Your Most Illustrious and Reverend Excellency's Servant,
P.C. Gasparri
