Please send Mr Declerc's bag by bearer.
I am not quite certain that I shall see you again before starting. If not will you be kind enough to hand over to Mr Costenobel the enclosed 24 numbers of our raffle[2] which are worth fr. 14,40. They are in somewhat greater number than I thought first of asking him: but they are my last, & I know he is charitably disposed towards our mission. Ask him, (in case I don't see him again this week) to pay his charity any time before Christmas to my cousin Mr Desplenter[3] through you.
Yours truly in Christo
P. Benoit.
