Lafontaine talked? with Lefevere once and now must ask him again to satisfy the parish for what he has done is all lost. What Lefevere told him gave him great hope but the priest Lefevere sent them for a week, has gone back on his word. He even went into a Protestant grocery on Sunday to make a map to cut off the advantage he had given them. But Lafontaine believes he was forced to do it; he had always been a good priest. But this action has caused great anger in the parish so that all have forced Lafontaine to appeal to Lefevere again and to invite him to visit the parish. When Lefevere sets the place for the presbytery there will be no more to say and all will go well. A year ago their priest made up a subscription and said that the group who raised the biggest amount would get the site. Mr. Tranblez Tremble's? side raised 1600 piastres; Mr. Baron's raised 1900 piastres and began the work. But in a little while the priest announced he did not want to go any further. But Tranblez's side is too weak to build the presbytery and the church. Lafontaine heard some pious persons say they did not know what to do about working on Sunday as the priest himself did and another said he would not confess to lying when the priest did it himself from the pulpit. It is necessary to try to reunite the people; Lafontaine had never seen a parish in such harmony as this one in the 11 years he has been here. The people on the other side of the Huron River are beginning to show that they want to join Swancreek if the church is built at Mr. Baron's. It makes sense as the priest said that after they have a church big enough for all, he may not go there any longer on Sundays. Lafontaine believes it will be very difficult for Father George Victor Girard Girare to get them all together as they were. Lafontaine ardently desires to see Lefevere among them. If he can come he is to let Moyse Larenger? know at Huron River.
