Bourgeault of Pointe Claire, Truteau, Vicar General, or Paré, secretary to the bishop of Montreal. :: III-2-l A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents He has received Lefevere's letter but he regrets that he has been misunderstood. If he mentioned his status in France and in Canada, it was not done with a view to obtaining an important assignment in Lefevere's diocese. He left France only to work for the salvation of souls. He desires to find a bishop of his country of long and great experience. Such is the reason he asks admission into Lefevere's diocese. Father J. O. Paré, secretary to the Bishop of Montreal advised him to write. ::...

Besides good manners and common decency, theology teaches that certainty of death is absolutely required in the case supposed. Lebel has always maintained just respect for the priest concerned. He had never heard one single word about the matter in question until yesterday. Lebel fears Antoine Parent 's case may result regrettably. He has written him...

Scope and Contents He is grieved at Lefevere's reprimand for his small debts to Dunigan and Co . He believes this gentleman will spare Lefevere further trouble about such a trivial matter, especially since Lebel has written him that it is only a small matter which soon will be taken care of; and since his whole business is in bankruptcy, he should have some sympathy for the small, passing difficulties of others. In the future, Lebel will be more faithful to the recommendations in Lefevere's letter. Last Sunday...

Scope and Contents Lebel acknowledges Lefevere's letter of June 4 in which Lefevere addresses severe reproaches about certain complaints he has received against Lebel.

The repeated clamours made to Lefevere about certain legitimate debts of his own from Illinois are unjust. The difficulties about the...
