You can, then, tell Dr. Formigão that I was beside the children the whole time, and I myself had already told him this there at Fátima; it's just that he naturally doesn't remember that he was there with me near the parish church of Fatima.

Tell him too that I am ready to give any information he may wish, for the good of our cause and the glory of God, for I am anxious to know the result of the investigations into the wonderful event of 13 October last, which someone, surely on the orders of His Eminence*, was to carry out.

Português (original)

Pódes pois dizer ao Snr. Dr. Formigão que eu estive sempre ao pé dos pequenos e eu mesmo já lhe tinha dito isto lá em Fátima, é que naturalmente elle não se lembra que esteve lá commigo ao pé da egreja parochial de Fatima.

Diz-lhe tambem que estou prompto a prestar todos os esclarecimentos que elle deseje por bem da nossa causa e gloria de Deus, pois, estou ancioso por saber o resultado das investigações que, de certo por ordem de Sua Eminencia alguem havia de proceder sobre o caso tão admiravel do dia 13 d'Outubro passado.
