Very Reverend Father,

[1]
A few lines about our life together. Fr Chouvet has come to replace Fr Reignier who was with me. Fr Reignier has been placed closer to the interior of the countryside, four days travel from Opotiki at a place called Rotorua. I have just been called to the Bay of Islands for a period. I would have the care of the Maori at this mission station until the return of Fr Baty who had just left for Sydney, he will no doubt write to you himself from there.
 
Fathers Forest and Bernard and the brothers of the order are here. Fr Garin is in the Kaipara, three days travel from the Bay of Islands, for some months. Fr Moreau is at Hokianga with Mgr Petit but only for some months.
