He regrets he can no longer go to the Huron River . Beyond the bad will to end the work of the Church, almost every Sunday there are scandals of which he has had enough. The Manansons are behaving disgracefully. They have arranged their land so that later the church will adjoin a saloon, etc., instead of leaving 60 feet as agreed. Since M. Despretres Father Charles Depreiter connives with his opponents and wishes to take over services at Huron, let him do so. DeMontaubricq will return quietly to Newport. If he cannot remain there without having the care of Huron he asks to have another priest put in his place and to be permitted to return to France. P.S. If Hennaert has need of fuller information, two officials of the church at Huron, Mr. Laranger and Mr. Mercure, can give it to him abundantly. :: III-2-l A.L.S. 5pp. 12mo.
