(Translated from the Latin original.)
Port Royal, June 11, 1611.

The peace of Christ be with you.
After four months of very painful and perilous navigation, we have at last arrived, thanks to the protection of God and to the prayers of Your Reverence, at Port Royal, in New France, the end of our journey.
