	This is the first mention of the problems of Brother Michel (Antoine Colombon), who had been among the first group of missionaries who had left Le Havre on 24 December 1836 (Cf Docs [[Girard0001\|1]] [3,5], [[Girard0024\|24]] [3,13], [[Girard0027\|27]] [1,3], [[Girard0028\|28]] [17]. In September 1838 Father Servant called him “good Brother Michel” ([[Girard0031\|Doc 31]] [2]). In June 1839, according to Father Baty, Brother Michel was convalescing at the Bay of Islands (Docs [[Girard0032\|32]] [2] and [[Girard0076\|76]] [2]. In August 1839 Pompallier said that Brother Michel was at Hokianga with Fathers Servant and Baty, and Brother Elie-Régis (Etienne Marin) ([[Girard0033\|Doc 33]] [7]). On 3 March 1840 the Brother accompanied Father Viard and the Bishop on a voyage along the coast of the North Island ([[Girard0051\|Doc 51]] [1]).

			Antoine Colombon definitely in Westport in late 1872 – Garin writes to him!


			In the typescripts I’ve tried Michel / Michell / Mitchell / Colombon / Antoine / Antonio / Jim / Michael to see if there was any earlier communication recorded – but no. Also tried these in Archives NZ and PapersPast – nothing further came to light. - Elizabeth



			DNM 2/32 – 2/33 – transcription and footnotes by Peter Tremewan of letters of Garin



			*1872 - Jimmy Michel[1] - Nov. 2 - J’envoie lists of winning nos., also of winners residence.

			*1872 Jimmee Michael, Westport[2] - Dec. 11 - Qu’il veuille bien faire passer le paquet que j’envoie à Mr McGuigan et dire à Miss Keghan de me faire présent d’un ou 2 pounds pour les dépenses que j’ai faites pour lui expédier son instrument, Harmonium.

			*1879 Oct. 1 - F. Carew - Would Jimmy Mitchel[l] do for the man I want as specified by my letter to you. Would he be willing. Please telegraph soon.
			* 1879 Oct 14 - F. Rolland - When will you send me one of the men you had in view for me. Jimmy Mitchel cannot come.


			[1] This is the former Marist Brother Michel, born Antoine Colombon (1812-1880), who arrived in New Zealand with Pompallier in 1838 but left the Society after going on a retreat to Mangakahia in January 1845. See also letters of 11 Dec. 1872, 1 and 14 Oct. 1879.

			[2] Called Jimmy Michel in an earlier Garin letter (2 Nov. 1872), this is the former Marist Brother Michel, born Antoine Colombon (1812-1880). Garin will later ask whether he would like to replace Brother Mary in Nelson (letter to Father Carew, 1 Oct. 1879) but he will not be available (letter to Father Rolland, 14 Oct. 1879).
