Father Hamon was very happy to be able to accept Henry's invitation to conduct a retreat in Detroit. He will be free at the beginning of May and very probably can go after Easter. He can postpone a mission he is to have preached at Beanport near. Quebec the April 20 or 30 if the priest at Detroit is determined to have the retreat at this time. Hamon will await a letter about the time. He shall be very happy to renew his old acquaitance with Henry and to recall with him their memories of France and old friends. He is also delighted at the opportunity to meet Henry's children of whom Henry spoke to him at Montreal when they met so unexpectly. Hamon is therefore greatly pleased to accept the invitation. He would like to have Father J Raynel come with him but if not he could take a priest from here to accompany him. All is arranged for the best. He would have been on the islands of St. Viene Miquelon near Newfoundland Canada this lent. Fortunately the St. Viene appointment has been postponed for the following lent. Hamon will expect a letter from Detroit for a final settlement. :: III-3-a A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
