Letter to Father Bresson, superior of Woluwé, Belgium (6 November 1885)
My dear Friend,
I also regretted not going to see you all in Algiers. I would have liked to ask you in detail about the house in Woluwe and the arrangements in Belgium. Thank you for the long letter you have written to me and the useful information it contains. I see with joy that the Good Lord is blessing your work and that of your good confreres. Tell them and also your students that I bless them from afar, with a most paternal heart. What I wish above all is to see the bonds that unite the different nationalities in our little Society become closer. I hold more dearly to the union with the Belgians who came first and who are eminently gifted with qualities for the apostolate.

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.
