25 December 1842 — Father Antoine Garin to Father Jean-Baptiste Épalle, Kororareka

Translated by Fr Brian Quin SM, June 2016

[Actually two lists of items needed by the mission properly speaking {Garin} and things needed for the printery {Yvert}. Both lists will be modified by later letters written in 1843: Yvert in doc 231, 7 Jan 1843, and Garin in doc 258, 30 May 1843. Forest, having replaced Garin in Kororareka, will send, on 4 November 1843, a “triplicate” or third form of Garin’s list (doc 283) with the final revision which Yvert will have drawn from his own list.
