Supposant un simple retard dans l'envoi de votre reglement nous avons cru devoir vous en continuer le service. Nous vous serions reconnaissant d'effectuer ce reglement sans retard a notre cheque postal (Paris 52-89) pour eviter un recouvrement par poste dont nous serions obliges de vou compter les frais. Avec nos remerciements et l'expression de nos sentiments devoues. L'Administration du Journal des Missions." "Societe des Missions Evangeliques, 102 Bld. Arago (Paris) Braun & Cie, Imp.
