I think that the Baresch letter states (or implies)
that B. got confirmation that his earlier letter
was received by K. Anyway, Fletcher mentions
in his publications that the Carteggio is clearly
incomplete (e.g. from references found in letters
to other ones no longer available.)

There is also a somewhat longer quote related
to Baresch in Marci's 1640 letter (see 
www.voynich.nu/letters.html) which has not yet
been translated from Latin, and I don't fully
understand the text.

Furthermore, I just noticed a mistake in my 
introduction on that same page. When Marci was
in Rome, he already knew Baresch very well.
Did the Baresch letter reach Kircher while Marci
was there? Probably not too important....

Cheers, Rene
