Monsignor,

Today we do not agree with our cure, in the regard of our church that we want it to be built in the center. Mr. Cure does not want it with some of the citizens, but the majority absolutely wants it to be in the heart. This is the most suitable place, since the cemetery is there and then there are some bodies that are buried there and at the same time will be more consoling for the parents to see out of the cemetery. Monsignor also when The Cure has arrived in the midst of us he has seen the place himself and then to tell us that you even The Monsignor you told him, and at the same time predicted that she would fight in the place that we would like today but everything is change.

The majority Monsignor, wanted to speak to her so that she could get along; he told us that he was at home, that he was not coming to trouble us. We want to make a parish assembly, he doesn't want it. He also said Monsignor that he will fight the church where he loses it today. It also said to the majority when they will help not to beat the church today or he wants it, that when it comes to paying they will pay well. This is not what we want, it is only that the justice Monsignor and the agreement with our cure.

Learn also that if she fights the lord or the cure wants it to move away from the world of the church and even more from religion. Believe it, Sir, we are the majority of people who are six and a half miles away and the other half who have six miles; it would be nice if she were fighting in the center and yet another thing is seeing that we had given 20 acres of land and what it needs today. And then pay four piastras per acre, see my Monsignor that he does not work for our interest, which is why today we are addressing you Lord so that justice knows we are lost.

All the majority join together, Lord, asking You for your Holy Benediction so that you can have calm in our parish enterprises as soon as possible.

We are, Jos. Charbonneau and Ovide Lafreniere, Louis Moreau of St-Leon, Manitoba, Canada.

Excuse us Monsinor, we forgot to tell you that Mr. Cure thinks we're not being generous enough to him. But you're told that there's a part of the world that it's right for their lives.
