When Girard gave the Jubilee here, he worked to have a presbytery built and fixed the site on the ground of the present church. He acted contrary to what he had previously told Lefevere about the suitability of a new site at the corner of the highway from Detroit to Monroe and the Chapman road. He was actuated by the conviction that he would not succeed in collecting the money necessary to build there. Of three syndics appointed by the people, two favor the new site saying the people want it there and will not give for a church on the old site. He still believes that here is the place to build and not at Mr. Baron's. He told the syndic holding out for the old site to act as if he had no opposition except to stop on receipt of orders from Lefevere. The other syndics signed the notes for the other place and are going to Lefevere this week to assert their claims. If Lefevere gives in to their arguments, Girard would ask that they present clear titles to the land, as he knows it is mortgaged, and a list of subscriptions guaranteeing the rapid building of the presbytery. The subscription for the old place is still the strongest although only 41 against 48 or 9. There he has an active, intelligent syndic, disposed to house Girard as soon as possible, because this will be near his house. If the presbytery is built at Mr. Baron's there must be a little chapel for Mass during the week. They would have to dig a well and build a stable. It would take a thousand piastres to build there. Lefevere is not to forget that Girard would like to be housed as fast as possible. He is preparing the children of Huron River for First Communion and also must give the Jubilee in a few weeks. He hopes Lefevere will assist them as he promised more than a year ago. ` On the letter in another hand: John G.
