For in order to establish fixed residences for Missioners in the Patagonian desert according as the natives unite in colonies or villages, he obviously requires a much greater number, of priests, catechists and mums, as also a goodly store of household chattels, provisions and diverse articles, indispensable both for daily sustenance and divine worship..

 But as our dear Co-operators may easily understand, the outfitting of so numerous a body incurs an enormous expenditure in Sacred articles and vestments, in clothing and habiliments generally, in church ornaments, school furniture and household utensils, with­out speaking of the not indifferent and more pressing expenses of baggage and travelling both by sea and land.

 Wherefore I make a fresh appeal to your charity; harken to the Missioner's voice and the imploring cry which arises from hundreds of thousands of abandoned wretches in those far distant regions! Once more I implore our Benefactors to render us practicable this new expedition by assisting us in especial manner with their fervent prayers and with whatever offering they can send us, either in linen or linen-garments, in cloth or clothing, in church furniture or sacred vessels, or better still in money with which to defray the expenses of travelling and transport of luggage both by land and sea, - in short with whatever alms their piety suggests and their condition permits..

 Mary Help of Christians, Protectrix and Mother of our Missioners and of the poor Patagonian savages, obtain from God for you every most desirable Benediction both spiritual and temporal..
