501Letter Nr. 123[Paris, June 4, 1837] 568My dearest Charles!Praise and thanks to God for all good things I read in your letter. Before Irespond to it, I have a request to make of you today: Tell Turowski, who shouldalready have arrived in Bordeaux on his way to us, that he should try to get hereas soon as possible.This is necessary for many reasons. Therefore, he is not to stop along theway. If he needs any money for his trip, tell him that he can definitely borrowabout 20 or 30 francs, with the promise that I will send them back immediatelyafter his arrival in Paris.His baggage, that is his valise, has already arrived. Therefore, he can takethe stage-coach directly from Bordeaux to Paris, making only a deposit, anddeclaring that he will pay the rest when he arrives, (and this would be best).Let him make whatever arrangements he can; but, when all is said anddone, let him come to us as soon as he can, without making any further stopsalong the way.I agree to your plan to visit the depots 569 ; but with God’s help, I will soonwrite to you at greater length about all these matters. We have already submittedthe petition for Kranas to come to Paris, and we await Kamocki 570 with heartfeltdesire.May God and his all-powerful mercy be with all of you.Bogdan Jański 571568 The date is determined by the content of the letter and the calendar.569 As a lay apostle among the emigrants.570 Marian Kamocki (1804-1884) - a colleague of Jański at the University of Warsaw; a relative ofBishop Skórkowski; a widower, insurgent and emigrant; a member of the House of Jański; later aVincentian priest and Provincial.571 The rough draft of this letter is found in CRR: Mss 8627; pp. 787-788.
