The buildings which Bonduel began to build are all just as he left them. How they at Point St. Ignace should like to have him back! It is impossible to get any rent for Bonduel's farm from the Bourasau's and the others. Nothing from Bishop Frederick Résé's farm either as Mr. Carron will pay only Bonduel. The priest who is here celebrated Mass ten times last year, and this winter only twice. Martin does not think that is right. He also complains about the priest's ingratitude toward him notwithstanding what he has done for the Church. He claims the priest made him give a contract for the place before the church and school house. He is enclosing the paper in the letter for Bonduel to judge for himself. The school is done away with so Martin asks Bonduel for help in the education of his children, especially his oldest son who is not well and cannot do hard work. He is unable to pay but asks Bonduel to take his oldest son and teach him to read and write, or put him in some school. All the strayed flock send their best respects to their first Shepherd and beg him to come back. In the papers of Bishop Peter Paul Lefevere of Detroit. :: III-2-g A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
