:My very dear confrère,

;[1]:	My brother and I have been here<ref>At 24 montée Saint-Barthélemy</ref> since yesterday, and we are thinking of blessing the chapel and the house, next Saturday, the 19th inst.  I would like you to send along Fr. Besson and would be especially pleased <ref>supra lineam</ref> if he came for Saturday so that all together we could set up the rule and put order in the house.  The house in Lyons is more important than any other, so I think you will have to leave with us Brother Luke,<ref>Antoine Noël Ardant</ref> who fits in perfectly with our situation.  Will you kindly replace him then by Brother Félix<ref>Antoine Baralon (notices in LC 2 and Bourtot, Frères coadjuteurs)</ref> and release him<ref>supra lineam</ref> to us if at all possible.
;[2]:	May I ask you to pass on to me the Society deed belonging to the Fathers of Valbenoite,<ref>OM, doc. 903.</ref> that you have in your possession.  We are being asked for prospectuses of your training school for Brothers; will you please send me a few copies.  We would also be most grateful if you could see your way to supply Brothers for Draguignan, in the department of Var.  Let me have a reply.  With regard to the Sisters you are asking for, that is a matter we can only deal with verbally.  I shall be obliged to return to Belley towards the end of next week, so I do not know<ref>''for'' - - - </ref> when we could see each other.  Fr. Besson can bring his belongings, at least, the essentials.  I am writing in great haste and have just the time to add that I am respectfully, dear brother,

::Your most humble and obedient servant
:::Colin.  Sup.
