Excerpts [in Macdonald's handwriting?]. The writer describes Prince Edward Island (160 miles), mainly populated by Scots and some very religious French Acadians, New Brunswick, along Baie des Chaleurs, with many French Acadians, and Cape Breton Island. Although they are not represented in the Legislative Council, Catholics enjoy the free exercise of their religion and a good relationship with the government. However, they suffer from the lack of missionaries. In Prince Edward Island there are the writer (east), [B.D.] MacDonald (west), FitzGerald (centre); in New Brunswick five French[-Canadian] and Irish missionaries [Lefèbvre de Bellefeuille, J. Carroll 1797-after 1833, McSweeney are three of them]; in Cape Breton Island, under Fraser's jurisdiction, A. Macdonell [1782-1841], [W.B.] MacLeod (Bras d'Or Lake).

The writer invites the addressee to forward the enclosed letter [see SOCG 529] to [PF] Secretary [Caprano], and to pursue with him the promise of some places in Collegio Urbano for youngsters [from the writer's district] that was made, years before, by [PF] Prefect. PF notes.
