Brisard, who was ordained by Bishop James O. Van de Velde requests permission to be received into the Detroit Diocese. Bishop Anthony O'Regan appointed him to the L'Erable Mission, having a mixed population, mostly Canadians and Irish. Brisard speaks enough English to be able to serve these people. He has three poor missions, made difficult to administer because of the nearness of the apostate Charles Chiniquy . He has made an enemy, rendering his work partly ineffective, an unsurmountable burden to his poor existence. He plans soon to leave the diocese. He is in good agreement with his bishop. There is nothing against his priestly character. :: III-2-i A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
