| Description | Glad to receive an answer to letter relating to Christianising the Hindus, which was kind (unusual amongst Roman Catholic clergy); serious disputation can only do good regrets the abbe offends the pope's manifestos against the bible societies; the Indian translations should be considered in the same light as the vulgate; asks for names and full details of the Protestant missionaries alleged to have tried to convert Roman Catholics by offering them money; if true the matter must be recorded; sends a few chapters of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus and the Psalms, of his translation into Tamil requesting opinion on it [copy]. |
