Translated by Fr Brian Quin SM, September 2015

Cf. introduction to doc. 195.

Bay of Islands, 10 October 1842

Reverend Father,

[1]

Following the instructions that Reverend Father Épalle will have brought to you, I am drawing on the allocations of 1841 and 1842 up to the limit in question, which will be a long way from equalling the total of only one of these years’ allocations. So today I am making available to you a draft drawn up in triplicate, to the order of Mr J Dunn, amounting to three thousand four hundred and twenty four francs, forty centimes.

[2]

I have the honour to be, with respect and gratitude,

Reverend Father,

Your most humble and obedient servant,

+ J(ean) B(aptis)te F(ranç)ois Pompallier, Bishop,

Vic(ar)-Ap(ostolic) of Western Oceania.
