Marivault considers it his duty to acquaint Bishop Lefevere of his missions among the Pottawattomies . He has learned enough Indian language to hear confessions without an interpreter; spent an entire day with the Indians of Nantwasepee where he heard the confessions of all, after which he returned to his own village of De Manissde formerly Pokagon to celebrate the feast of his Church dedicated to the Heart of Mary. The Indians of the village are thinking of building a chapel--not only the Pottawattomies but the Attawas and the Miamis as well. The foreign Indians tell them that so long as they have only a poor little chapel they regard the mission as temporary. The Indians, therefore, want a strong and large chapel and ask that he Bishop Lefevere aid them with his advice. They complain lovingly that their great father forgets them. Marivault would like to go personally to the Bishop so as to come to a direct understanding about his mission but he is unable to do so without permission. :: III-2-h A.L.S. french 2pp. 12mo.
