Sydney, 4 June 1846

To reverend Father Colin at Lyon,

[1]

I am letting you know that in order to pay the expenses of the missions of the Marist Society, I have drawn a draft for thirty days for an amount of six hundred pounds sterling in the names of Fathers Joubert and Murphy on the account of Mrs Guérin (widow) and sons at Lyon. Be so good as to put the money to her use; my letter of June 5 1846 will give you the reasons for this action.

Very reverend Father, please accept the respectful greetings

of your very humble and very obedient servant,

Antoine Dubreul,

Procurator for the Marist Society missions in Oceania.
