Believing that McMaster understands French he writes in that language. He sent McMaster last November 29 a copy of the report of Dr. Henry on the reclamation by the mission of St. Jacques of a section of land and an extract of that report containing the decision. Dec. 14, L.N. St. Onge sent a letter to the Secretary of War pressing him to consider the question of the injustice that has been done the mission by the government occupying the greater part of the land for 20 years without compensation. Blanchet wanted these documents made public by the Journal but has been frustrated in his attempts. He does not know if the documents came to McMaster. He thought at first that McMaster feared that the publication would do more harm and in this he does not blame him since McMaster knows the case better than he does. Now he wants to know if McMaster received the documents. Senator Casserly has taken their cause in hand and he hopes that they will obtain a favorable decision. If McMaster has received the documents Blanchet does not insist on their publication but leaves the matter to McMaster. He is content to see McMaster thunder against profane music in churches and hopes that the Vatican Council will take against the disorder. :: I-1-n A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
