Neraz sends new year's greetings. Father Daniel Swagers writes that Perché would like some information since the papers which Neraz gave Swagers are such as one would give any priest. Swagers is a good preacher, and can render great service if under someone who can control him. He has not given what could be called scandal but he went to excess in drinking during Neraz's abscence; the newspapers made a big affair of it. Neraz can no longer keep him. :: VI-3-d A.L.S.
