February, 1838
Monseigneur:
I do not know if we have fully understood the manner of filling out the sheet of paper you sent us. We put down no conversions nor baptisms because it is still an impossibility for us to instruct the Americans.
Our chapel will be raised in the month of March and then, Monseigneur, we will have need of your being kind enough to give us a little money.
Receive, Monseigneur, the respect and gratitude of Your submissive daughters of the community of Kahokias.
Sister Febronie Fontbonne
