Dear Sir,

I find that the PEIsland indians are Mickmacks numbering 307 on Lennox Island.

Character unusually good and prospering. Their annuity is paid in kind good and payment to office. They have a chapel and schoolhouse but they are collecting funds to build a new chapel as soon as they have sufficient.

I would advise your writing Revd J. … Arsenault Supt and schoolmaster etc and ask him if (as I think) the money you have would not be best applied to assist in rebuilding the chapel.

Yours truly
Froome Talfourd

F.W. Chesson Esq
