O’Reilly, ''Tahitians'', p. 410). </ref> captain of the ''Rose'', made a promise to the Bishop to make a certain sum available to him, that he was not yet able to specify and to receive a draft from you. As this sum could not be specified before the Bishop’s departure, His Lordship left me the bills of exchange, for me to write in the amount that Mr Rouffio would deliver, these bills having been filled in and signed by the Bishop himself. But mistakenly the Bishop had put date instead of sight; this could cause some difficulty, if Mr Rouffio should cede his rights to someone else and a crossing out could also cause great problems. That is why I have preferred to re-write these bills and add my own signature, having the powers to do so.		;[1]: In my letter number 9, of 31 July last, I told you of the departure of the Bishop for a voyage around the coast of New Zealand.
