9 February 1982
Monseigneur,
I acknowledge receipt of your kind letter of 11 January and thank you for it. You will doubtless understand that I cannot yet reach any decisions on questions which concern the contents of your letter, as I have scarcely taken office. Nevertheless, I have informed the Holy Father that I have received your letter. His Holiness will probably entrust me with continuing the mission concerning your case which was previously dealt with by Cardinal Seper. You may take it for granted that I shall be most painstaking in so important a mission.
My Lord, please accept my sincerest regards, yours in Christo,
Joseph Card. Ratzinger
