:New Zealand, Bay of Islands, 20 August 1839
:Father Petit

:Jesus Mary Joseph

:To Father Colin, Superior-General of the Society of Mary

:Very Reverend Father
;[1]: The Bishop has given me the responsibility of informing you that on 15 August 1839 he entrusted to M Baxter, captain of the ''Orion'', a whaling ship from Nantes, a packet of letters addressed to you. Apart from that, His Lordship is going to have another packet sent to M Groborne de Boughem, ship’s doctor on the ''Pallas'', which is going to set sail at the first opportunity. The present letter, having been entrusted to the captain of the same ship, the ''Pallas'', its reception will be, for you, an undeniable proof of the arrival at Le Havre of the packet which contains the Bishop’s letters; but as they are addressed to you through M Franque [Note from Father Petit in the margin: or of M le Normand, shipbuilder].<ref>Petit gives the name from memory; it is no doubt Jacques-Augustin Normand: the ''Chantiers Augustin Normand'' built many ships from 1816 until 1962 (cf Legoy and Vagner, nº 13-53) </ref>
;[2]: Our dear confrères Fathers Baty and Epalle, being in the Hokianga, have not been able to take these opportunities to write to you, but it is very probable that other French whaling ships will soon give them that advantage. It can even be presumed that among that number will be some who having loaded themselves to capacity will sail directly to France, where they could arrive before the ''Orion'' and the ''Pallas'' which still have to go on whaling.
;[3]: I am delighted to have this opportunity to offer you my most humble homage and to commend to your good prayers and remembrance in the Mass, him who has the honour to be,
:::::Very Reverend Father,
::::::::Your most humble and obedient servant in Jesus Christ,
