亲爱的克尔医生和夫人 ，
我可以自由地写这几行 ，
原因是我不想让任务干预这种情况。
但是所有的使命都干扰了自己在这方面的辩护 ，
不要欺骗 ，
无辜地和忠实地与基督在一起所有的使命都知道并理解每一件事一直在发生的事情 ，
现在每一件事都被证明是可悲的真理新教基督赢得了征服 ，
并证明葡萄牙天主教和英国领事无法得到它。
原因是所有的使命都要亲吻圣经 ，
说出可悲的真相 ，
不能做任何葡萄牙天主教徒和英国领事所说的事情 ，
任何这个女人不知道的事情。
昨天晚上我和你说了法官在上周四对这些女人说的话 问这个女人你知道这房子是你的 [难以辨认] 我说是的 但我昨晚对你说我有话要说使命是因为我站在神法一边。
我有理由和合理地说出可悲的事实 ，
我是真实的 ，
当然这所房子是属于我的 ，
并且拥有基督教征服的所有美元。
我有理由和合理地对葡萄牙天主教徒负责。
