MS. "Relazione dello Stato Attuale della Religione Cattolica nelle Colonie Inglesi in America Settentrionale." Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Cape Breton [Island], and Prince Edward Island have independent governments, under English law. Only English is spoken. Catholics are excluded from publics offices; they are numerous, but are served only by 10/11 priests. The bp. of Québec [Plessis], who enjoys jurisdiction over them, only grant them faculties if they are fully recognized by the government. The [Society for the] Propagation [of the Gospel in Foreign Parts] is very active, and the only solution is, to abolish the jurisdiction of the bp. of Québec, to let English priests in, to establish prefectures apostolic, schools and seminaries (as in Halifax).

Lower Canada is situated along the St. Lawrence river. Upper Canada has no clear borders [to the west], and only three priests [Marchand is one of them]. The writer suggests that missions in Upper Canada be entrusted to the Jesuits; there still are former Jesuit missions at Detroit (Potiers [recte Potier), Lorette (Girou [recte Girault de Villeneuve]), L'Arbre-Croche on Lake Huron (Jaune [recte Du Jaunay], currently recalled due to Captain Carleton's hostility [yet Du Jaunay had left Michilimackinac in 1765]). Indians are not served by any missionaries, and a former mission on Lake Erie has become Protestant. PF notes ("11 February").
