Letter to his friend Mgr Foulon, Archbishop of Besançon in France (4 November 1886)
Reverend and Dear Monsignor,
Your friendship with me is always faithful to me, and we have now reached an age where old friendships are becoming dearer as they become rarer. We represent the first group of runners. What your Grace tells me about the cardinals of Lyon and Rennes touches me all the more since Roman tradition and the most respectable historical monuments prove as being fidei proximum, that the princes of the Church always leave three together.

Letter to Missionaries concerning a violent dispute between two confrères (1st November 1876)
Today, in your midst, I have to carry out a sad duty. Some weeks ago, in one of the mission posts, a unique (up to now) event occurred and will not, I hope, have any imitators. Two Missionaries, a Father and a Brother, had the misfortune of lacking selfcontrol to the extent of coming to blows with each other in an excess of blind rage.
