After all his sacrifices for the congregation he is forced to announce to the Bishop that the congregation pays him only half his salary. He is obliged to go into debt to live, because of the ingratitude of his parishioners. He likes the parish and will continue to serve it but his inability to sustain himself will not permit him to continue this for long. He writes this as a son submitting his problem to the Bishop's paternal judgment. He asks a response. His health is a bit weak because of the numerous labors and the crosses sent from heaven. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
