My Adelaide4, who managed to speak to the little girl, heard her say that Our Lady had told her that she was the Lady of the Rosary, that she wanted a chapel built to her there, that people should repent because [3v] because they were offending God very much, that the war would end soon and that they should wait for our soldiers, who are coming back soon! — That is all I know. The little girl is ugly, not very likeable and of a very simple-minded disposition; but she speaks very firmly and never contradicts herself.
A minha Adelaide4 que conseguio fallar á pequena, ouvio-lhe dizer que Nossa Senhora lhe tinha dicto que era a Senhora do Rozario, que queria lhe fizéssem ali uma capella que se arrependessem porque [3v] porque estavam offendendo muito a Deus, que a guerra acabava breve e que esperassem pelos nossos soldados que voltam breve! — Eis tudo o que sei é pequena é feia, pouco sympatica e com um feitio muito simplório; mas falla muito firme e nunca se desdiz.
