Without reading the entire paragraph it is difficult to give a 100% definitive answer. However, I am fairly certain that it means the following: " renew assurances " means that they are, in some way, restating something (renewing their assurances) The assurances are " of profound respect for " (somebody, something) To me, it is like somebody saying "I promise you that I still have profund respect for X " (X being a somebody or something - the promise being an assurance and "still have" the renewal).

Ok, thank you for the hint. The sentence is taken from a letter which starts with it. The subject is that somebody does something on somebody's second or third... request on the same matter.
