But before it would be well for you to make your retreat. That is why, on receiving my letter, you will finish what you can finish, and you will leave the rest for a more opportune time, which for the diocese of Nimes will be in the month of January, the time when ten of our Fathers will go to evangelize these regions.<\/strong><\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Finally, Eugene takes off his gloves and orders Mie to obey immediately!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>At present my dear Father, I beg you to excuse me if I do not confine myself to advising you as I have done hitherto, but good order demands that I stipulate to you, as I do by this letter, to you and to Fr.
