Bruyère, Vicar General of Bishop Pierre Adolphe Pinsonneault, has written him on the deplorable state of the Diocese of Sandwich Ontario as a result of the bad administration of his Bishop. It is Baillargeon's duty to remedy the evil as much as he can. All he can do is to send the memoir to the Holy See with a request for it to come to the help of this portion of the flock.

There is a Sister's school at the...

"Jill's Migonette" was to be the next story. She used to skip the end of a story when it ended with a moral. Is a story with a purpose a story with a moral?

Scope and Contents Bakewell tells McMaster that his articles on the old nephew have given him much pleasure and that any misrepresentations he himself has been subject to are outweighed by McMaster's kindness.
