Extract from the very end of the letter:
Praeterea sacratissimam clavem a beati Petri apostolorum principis corpore vobis transmisi, quae super aegros multis solet miraculis coruscare; nam etiam de eius catenis interius habet. Eaedem igitur catenae quae illa sancta colla tenuerunt suspensae vestra colla sanctificent.
'Moreover, I have sent you a most sacred key from the body of the blessed Peter the first among the Apostles, which is wont to shine forth with many miracles over sick persons; for it also has within it fragments of his chains. Thus the same chains that held fast those holy necks, will bless you when suspended around your necks.'
