He is very busy. He will be very happy to read proof on the proposed sketch. The Catholic World set is ungracious, the Ave Maria or the American Catholic Quarterly would have been better. He has a curious list in Father Peter Potier, S.J. 's hand of those who made their Easter duty in Detroit in 1748, '49, '50, '51, '56, '47, '58, '59, '60. They seem to be Detroit folks— Campeau, Navarre, La Paillier, Daniau, de Quindre, Godefroy, Michel Campeau, Mr. LaRoche, Joseph Rouillard, Pilette, Ch. leVert, Mr. le Beau, Mr. Blairmont, Compte la Compte. 80 communicants at Detroit in 1759 was not bad. The list for 1760 is only 4 or 5 names with the note that the rest were the same as before which indicates no desertions. P.S. Shea once printed 100 copies of the Register of Fort DuQuesne. He would do the same for the first register of Detroit if Elliott could give him a copy. He will print 100 copies and give 30 to the Bishop. Bookplate of Elliott attached :: III-2-m A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
