Poirier awaits an answer to his letter asking power to absolve Elizabeth Labadie who is excommunicated for an illegimate marriage with Mr. St. Mars? . He has taken advantage of the Christmas recess to send Mr. Sheran to Detroit because of their disappointment with the editor of The Vindicator . If Lefevere has had the time to read there is a weekly article by Sheran; he is quite sure Lefevere will be pleased with it. Mr. Sheran is brave, clear and convincing. Subsequent articles have been rejected by Mr. John who has substituted his own which are unintelligible to poor people. If this man continues as he has begun, he will appear ridiculous in the eyes of the Protestants. Why should John who had started to give the public the first articles of Sheran then announce he would not continue. Poirier sends Sheran himself to Lefevere. He is confident that since Lefevere is patron of the paper it was not to be left in the hands of a man who shows so much vanity and so little tact. Sheran is one of the most capable to spread the paper. Poirier has done nothing against the paper in spite of its stupidity though he shall withdraw his name. :: III-2-i A.D.S. French 1p. 12mo.
