<p>Initial text</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Letter from Duperre to Archbishop of Amasie, Paris, 9 Oct 1839==<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Translated by Miss M Lindsay 1986&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> HD3/12<br /> <br /> Paris, 9 October, 1839<br /> <br /> To His grace, the Archbishop of Amasie,<br /> <br /> Administrator of the Lyons Diocese,<br /> <br /> From the Ministry of Marine and Colonies.<br /> <br /> <br /> Your Grace<br /> <br /> I received the letter, which you did me the honour of writing 25 September last, asking me to guarantee royal marine protection to the French missionaries established in New Zealand , and to obtain facilities for the conveyance of their correspondence between France and Oceania.<br /> <br /> I agree willingly to receive and deliver to the French Ambassador in London, the letters and parcels which Father Colin will have to reach Monsignor de Pompallier, Bishop of Maronée.<br /> <br /> Hitherto no French consular agent has been established in New Zealand , and this point of support is still lacking for the safety of correspondence between this country and France.<br /> <br /> As for the protection you claim for the missionaries from the commanders of the French warships, you can rely on that at all times; special recommendations have been made with regard to this, to the captains of those ones of those ships which are destined to sail the great ocean.<br /> <br /> Accept the assurance of feelings of high esteem with which I am, Your Grace, your very humble and obedient servant,<br /> :Peer Admiral of France, Minister, Secretary of State for Marine and Colonies<br /> :Duperre</div>
