Marivault insists that a visit from Bishop Lefevere to arrange certain matters is necessary or they will lose this mission. The poor discouraged Indians will not give anything for the sustenance of the mission. Marivault, however, promises to tell the Bishop everything when he comes. If he does not come immediately, Marivault fears what has been again deferred, for they will have retreat when the Father Superior arrives. He therefore urges the Bishop's response by way of Notre Dame of the Lake rather than by way of Silver Creek as it takes too long by the latter way. Marivault adds that Father Francis Cointet C.S.C. would greatly desire the Bishop's presence at Bertrand, Saint Joseph, and Kalamazoo, Michigan. The voyage to Nantwa is urgent and Marivault awaits the Bishop's response with impatience. In a marginal note directions are given for the trip from Detroit to Pokagon. :: III-2-h A.L.S. french 1p. 12mo.
