Lefevere, indifferent to Girard's repeated requests, wishes to force him to remain at St. Anne's and demands in writing his reasons for departing. He wonders the reason of this arbitrary demand. He asks a change: 1. Because in sending him here Lefevere gave him verbally the power to administer the sacraments without any instruction about his rights and position; he lets him absolutely to the discretion of Father Bernard Soffers ; all he gets is his Mass stipends, and is ordered around like a servant. If Canon Law is not established here then the natural moral law is; 2. A question of language; French children do not speak and understand their parents' language; they can not confess in their parents' tongue; 3. His age and infirmities; he prefers a small mission to a big town, where he can enjoy a little calm with sufficient revenue to live on. He is not tied to this diocese. :: III-2-l A.L.S.
