Scope and content
Letter of Curé F.X.A. Labelle at Saint-Jérôme to G. de Molinari in Paris on France's relationship with Canada and the colonization movement. Sir Adolf Chapleau is described as a powerful patron in Ottawa. Labelle has been finding positions for French immigrants. The colony of La Montagne des Bois is to be a barrier to English-speaking influence. Labelle speaks of Riel's guilt, Tâché's pamphlet on the northwest, the Métis cause, a railway for the Laurentians, and of personal matters involving his sister (Mlle. Marie), Mme. Agostini, and M. Plouffe.
