	:Since then, these good people who live near me prepare my meals, and a young man brings them to me. A young man, and no one else. I do everything else myself. I maintain my independence. You understand that these are English-style meals. However, they do everything they can for me—I have even taught them how to make soup and an omelet.		:Since then, these good people who live near me prepare my meals, and a young man brings them to me.

	;[10]: No doubt, it would take quite a bit of bloodletting to rid me of my French spirit and heart. Nevertheless, I am astonished to see myself becoming so English.

New page

==2 November 1843 - Father Jean-Baptiste Petit-Jean to Father Jean-Claude Colin, Auckland==

===Summary===

''Suggests some changes in the way mission money is sent from Europe. Suggests that allocations from Propagation of the Faith be dispensed in London to lower bank charges, and every three months, to minimise loss in case of bank failure. Business in both Australia and NZ in a bad way at present. Seems to think the English are victims of success – praises the French love of simplicity.''

''Mentions in passing the Wairau affray, but seems to know little of it.''

''A Catholic family, Hennessy by name, provides much of his little food.''

''He rambles on at some length about relations between Protestants and Catholics in NZ – relations improving he thinks.''
