Skolla hopes that Lefevere has received his letters, sent 3 days ago, containing information about his congregation, church singing, etc. Skolla wants to dismiss Mr. Mayet from having charge of the church singing for he is a rebellious and treacherous man. Father Francis Pierz also knows him. Only the Bishop can curb him. When Lefevere wrote a letter to Skolla, pronouncing Mayet excommunicated on account of his civil marriage and giving him a public penance, immediately Mayet wanted to see the letter, mistrusting Skolla. A Catholic soldier from the Fort who has sung before in other churches and is well acquainted with music, has visited Skolla twice, wishing to sing in the church with some others of his company. They are waiting for permission from Lefevere. Enclosed is the receipt from Mrs. Sophie Graverod, the schoolteacher at St. Ignace, which he received Nov. 16. Skolla has given her up to date not only $48.46, but some time ago he had paid debts which she made in Mackinac amounting to $6.00, and the other day an advancement of $3.00 which he sent her. Therefore he has given her altogether $57.12. She still has $43.00 coming from her salary. She is a good teacher, modest and industrious, sollicitous about her pupils. Her husband has substituted for her several times, having been formerly a schoolteacher himself. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
