Item
1 sheet
Letter signed J:O B, likely Jean-Olivier Briand, Bishop of Quebec. The "messieurs" to whom the letter is addressed are likely Sieur de Lepallieur and James Morrison. Contents of the letter concern Briand's refusal to reduce the solemnity fees (100 piastres) associated with James Morrison's impending marriage to Suzanne Lepallieur. The couple was married between March and May 1772 at Christ Church Cathedral in Montreal.
In French with a typed English translation. Letter has damage which obscures some words.
