Scope and content
Letter of Rev. Étienne Chartier, an exiled Patriote at St. Albans, Vermont, to F.A. La Roque in Montreal. The author writes warmly of the necessity of seizing independence from Britain to save French Canada . He speaks of the sorry lot of the exiles and fugitives from Canada and condemns the apathy of the Canadians and the servility of "La lâche aristocratie de Montreal. "The recipient is asked to slip across the border to confer with the exiles at Ward's Hotel in Milton. The want of communication with Canada and the lack of leadership is lamented . An English notation on the cover suggests that it was intercepted.
