	;[1]: I am hurrying to write you this letter to tell you that I continue to be happy in Futuna. Each day I do everything I can to train my Christians in Christian virtues. Their behaviour fills me with comfort. I shall not say a word about their fervour, since I’ve given you lengthy details about this in my previous letters. I urge you not to be anxious about my relationship with my colleague Father Servant, we always agree about things, the bonds of charity bring us together all the time, we don’t complain, we have all we need. Our only problem is sweating a lot. If reverend Father Calinon has written you that we were not happy , he wasn’t exactly telling the truth; we are extremely upset at his conduct towards our venerable bishop, going to Sydney to gather provisions for our missions without telling him.		;[1]: I am hurrying to write you this letter to tell you that I continue to be happy in Futuna.
