Letter to Bishop Livinhac in Uganda (12 December 1886)
You probably know already, through the correspondence of the superior of your little Society, that these Fathers used ways contrary to Christian simplicity and loyalty, to drive us out of the Congo and to usurp our missions. They claimed that I had granted them the right to take those of our territories that were suitable for them in southern and northern Upper Congo, as delineated for us by the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda Fide.
