【 摘 要 】

This is the sixth - and also the last - in the present series of letters which Marcus Antonius Kappus ( 1657 - 1717, since 1687 Jesuitic missionary in the colonial Sonora) had sent to his relatives and acquaintances in Slovenia that have been preserved to the present day. Of the five letters which we have published so far, two were written in Latin and three in German; four of these letters we have published from manuscripts preserved in Ljubljana archives, and one (letter IV) from Der neue Welt-Bott - a well known German compilation of letters sent by Jesuitic missionaries from various parts of the world- which in the period from 1726 till 1761 appeared periodically in press in Augsburg, Graz, and Vienna.
