Poor health and visits to missions attached to Marshall explain his delay to send his 1867 account. Lefevere will be surprised at the increase of expenses over receipts of this year; he will in any case know how much the supports of schools is a burden on the pastor. Frain himself does not fear to go further in debt. $650 has already been paid, and if the congregation does not reimburse him, he will be consoled that he has neglected nothing for the Divine Host which it has the honor of enclosing. He has been at Charlotte the last week. Property has been bought for a church at Charlotte; at the time there are 6 or 7 Catholic families in the village or in the outskirts, who, unable to pay the principal, will take care of the interest. With the help of workers of the railroad which passes through Charlotte, and these Protestants who first published his plan to have a church, there are already 60,000 feet of lumber for a chapel 50 by 30 feet. He is almost certain that this chapel will be built in June or July and without debt. :: III-2-l A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
