"To do what you will commend, abbe: at Hudson's Bay to win back forts the English have taken, and get those they have built." "You have another purpose," added De Casson softly.

We all pray God to preserve him unto us still for some years and that He may bring you here in safety, to whom I earnestly commend myself." Two days later, on the 17th, Tiberio Calcagni wrote: "This is only to beg you to hasten your coming as much as possible, even though the weather be bad.
