They all sympathize with Elliott in the loss of his daughter. Mr. Devlin who recognized Elliott as a friend of Mr. O'Bierne also sympathises with him. He is working to close his volume and is on the Church in French territory, 1690-1763. It embraces Michigan posts and he is anxious to see the Detroit Register for use as well as to copy. He wrote to the pastor of Saint Anne's Detroit but has had no response. He does not have a copy of the Duquesne register but he sends others and Elliott can give the duplicates to Bishop Caspar Henry Borgess . A Mr. H. Prudhomme of Windsor, Canada offered a copy or summary of the register which he had made for the Canadian government. He offered also the Register of the Notary 1732-1796. Shea would rather work from the original and will get facsimiles of signatures. He has been away but will soon mail the sketch of the History of the Diocese. He thanks Elliott for the sketch and the appendix of the Father Gabriel Richard' s memoir. Bookplate of Elliott attached :: III-2-m A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
