My dear sir,

[1]

I have the honor to accuse the receipt of your letter of 29th April last and the letter of credit for £791.1.7. therein inclosed.

[2]

I have had also the pleasure to inform you that the sum of £1550 which you send by different portiens1 since October 1847 till on the 31March last were duly placed to the credit of D(octo)r Pompallier at the Australasian Bank.

[3]

It is a long time ago since I have received no number of the Annals of the Propagation of the Faith. Would you be so kind as to procure me some for the years 1847, 1848, some in English and some in French.

I am, my dear sir,

your humble and obed(ien)t serv(ant),

+ Ph(ilippe) J. Viard Bishop of Orthosia

Rev(erend) dear sir

[6]

As you will no doubt feel an interest in knowing that Bishop Viard has received a portion of the money you sent to him, I beg to forward his letter.

[7]

Could you send him some Annals in French by one of the priests who will go out with Bishop Pompallier. I will endeavor to send some in English. Bishop Pompallier has not yet returned from Ireland.

[8]

Begging a kind remembrance to the superior père Colin & to all the community,

I remain

yours very truly,

Tho(ma)s Heptonstall
