Abstract: Pope Clement XI writes to King Louis XIV of France regarding newly discovered islands beyond the Philippines in the Chinese Ocean and asks him to support the proposed Catholic mission by recommending the matter to the Catholic King of Spain. The brief cites reports from the Archbishop of Manila and Jesuit procurators and commends Fr. Andrés Serrano's role in advancing the expedition.
