Please tell me, as soon as you can, how we should ? ? ? these sums, that is to say, what we should consider as personal [spending – translator’s note] and, consequently should add or deduct from your allocations as a Maori missioner – or rather consider as supporting the impression given by your books and, consequently, pay with the balance of the 25000 [francs – translator’s note] allocated by the Propagation of the Faith, if you haven’t already paid it yourself. Anyway, please give me all the other explanations which I will need – if there are any – to settle the accounts.
- Yours very affectionately
