To the Very Reverend Father<br />
<br />
Auckland, 18 February 1845<br />
<br />
Very Reverend Father<br />
<br />
Please receive these few lines which may be of interest to you because of the news they contain.<br />
Very probably when this gets to you, I will be in Sydney to replace an English priest whom Bishop Pompallier has obtained.<br />
<br />
You are too wise to prejudge anything about this move. I myself even ought to refrain from making any comment on it to you. The Reverend Father Forest and His Lordship will explain everything to you I hope.<br />
<br />
Please, Very Reverend Father, take care that my parents know that I am in New Holland.<ref>a then-current name for Australia - translator’s note</ref><br />
<br />
Pray for your son.<br />
::I am, with deep respect, <br />
::Very Reverend Father,<br />
::Your very humble and obedient son,<br />
::and servant in Jesus and Mary,<br />
::J[ean] Bap[tiste] Petit-Jean<br />
