Charbonnel, S.S., Bishop Armand Francis Marie of, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to Father Charles Chambost, Lentigny France, 1859 October 17

Charbonnel has received permission from Blanc to receive Chambost, with the promise of an exeat as soon as he is in Toronto. It is not certain that Charbonnel will stay at Toronto. He has just received the appointment of a Coadjutor who is not French. There is an anti-French faction in Toronto. The posts which he has at his disposal are neither brilliant nor lucrative, and are demanding. He plans to turn as much of his administrative work as possible over to his Coadjutor. After these observations Charbonnel believes it would be prudent for Chambost to wait until he could give him something more positive or to offer his services to a bishop who could take better advantage of his zeal and experience. If Chambost still wants to come to Toronto, he will be welcome. A.L.S. French Copy 1p. :: VI-2-b A.L.S., A.L.S. Copy French 2pp. 12mo.
