I read these few pages with emotion; I will keep them as a commitment to the future, if God gives me the strength, to bring down the temple of the Philistines.

I wish I could tell you in person everything I have in my heart and mind, but I hope to shake your hand soon.

Lallemand placed me in a hotel that has a great advantage: a large and attentive staff (.) I find the food very comforting.
