Rules concerning budgets and non-budgeted expenses (Late 1876)
Considering that it is our most strict duty to keep hold on such a state of affairs so that it may not be extended, for it will lead to financial disasters, as detrimental to the works of the Mission as dishonourable for religion itself.

My dear Son,
I am advising you once again about what I told you two days ago. I sent you to the Attafs as a Missionary and not as a farmer. You are not in the slightest in charge of directing the work, which is Brother Jérôme’s field, but only to give general direction from the religious and moral point of view and for the exact carrying out of the duties entrusted to each individual.
