ALS. A very detailed report on the state of religion in Michigan and the Northwest territory, based upon letters just received from the writer's brother [F.-V. Badin] and from Richard, the Sulpician vicar general for Michigan of the bp. of Cincinnati [E.D. Fenwick]. Richard's letter of 20 March 1826 is cited at length. The Protestant efforts in converting and schooling the Indians are praised, and the state of the Ottawas, the Potawattomis (converted by the French Jesuit Chardon), the Hurons (converted in the 1640s by the French Jesuits Marquette, Allouez, Dablon), the Sauteux, is described. A Methodist school "dans le centre ... de l'Ohio" is mentioned, where some 50 Huron boys, baptized in Upper Canada just opposite Detroit, were taken.

Champlain took to Canada four Recollets [Dolbeau, Duplessis, Jamet, Le Caron] and they later established a mission at Detroit, in Michigan and in Canada. New missionaries are needed for all these Indians, for the French-Canadians living in the United States, and for the Irish emigrants. The report is followed by a "Tableau des Eglises et congrégations du Michigan et du Nord-Ouest-Territory", containing information on regions, churches, number of settlers, missionaries, distances.

This describes Detroit (Richard), Rivière-aux-Raisins and La-Baie-Miamis (formely under Bellamy), Rivière-Clinton, Fort-Gratiot, Rivière-Sainte-Claire, L'Anse-Creuse (all under Déjean), Rivière-aux-Écorces, La-Rivière-Rouge, Le-Pied-du-Rapide (all under F.-V. Badin), Rivière-aux-Hurons, Le-Mont-Saint-Clément, Rivière-Miamis, Saint-Joseph (all under Déjean), Michilimackinac, L'Arbre-Croche, Green Bay, Drummond Island, L'Isle-Saint-Joseph, Sault Ste. Marie, Prairie-du-Chien (all without missionaries), Rivière-au-Renard, Rivière-du-Vermilion, Butte-de-Mort [recte Butte-des-Morts], Portage-du-Ouisconsin, Fort-Saint-Pierre, Petit-Grey, Lac-Pepin (no information available). [The balance of this item deals with the United States].
