The following seems to be the gist of this letter in the Dutch language: Ryckaert bought a house at White Pigeon with three-quarters of an acre of land for a church, paying $200 in his own name. A committee has been named. There is no house to sleep in; the covers? were stolen from his bed; he must sleep in the straw. On the 14th they had a supper to pay off the debt. He wonders why he has not had the money from Belgium which has been in the hands of the Vicar General Father Peter Kindekens since last May. :: III-2-i A.L.S. Dutch 3pp. 16mo.
