Collard-Romain, Agathe, Paris, France, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, Arcachon, France, 1879 September 2

Without an extraordinary force from heaven, she would have already left for the other world. Sooner or later the work of God will overcome the numerous difficulties which are raised against it on all sides. The entire world will once again participate in the magnificent charity brought here eighteen centuries ago. She has told Perché several things which concern him as well as America, but she now knows more than she knew then. She has the keys to great resources and he knows that she is incapable of forgetting the right which he already has to those resources and which he will have even more if he takes the initiative that she suggests. She believes it would be useful to have an interview with him before he returns to Rome. Perché knows that a simple day of collection in his vast diocese or in a diocese of France, such as Bordeaux, would suffice and perhaps Alphonse XII would be happy to make a gift with a view to attracting God's blessing on the new alliance. :: VI-3-a A.L.S.
