The handwritten note by Don Bosco to Fr Macey dated 17 November 1887. This note was handed over to Fr Michael Hynes, the Parish priest at Chertsey. a few days ago by a relative of a fellow Salesian who worked with Fr Macey at Chertsey in the early 1900s. It is basing on this note that Fr John Dickson confirms that Fr Macey was in Italy, with Don Bosco, when the first batch of Salesians reached the English shore (on November 16, 1887).
