281.26.2

This mission expected no less from the ardent zeal which we all venerate in your person, and from the fervent love which you have exhibited all these years towards the members of this small company, and have also displayed to us in person on many occasions. The nature, sir, of this favour is so great, as well as the degree in which I esteem it, that words fail me to explain with the pen the feelings of my heart. Accept of them, I pray you, since the sincerer they are the more they are worthy of belief. I assure you that we recognise you, and will recognise you for ever, as the great benefactor and protector of this Mission. It is for this reason that it (the Mission) acknowledges itself under such a great obligation to return you eternal thanks from the depths of its heart.
