Moncher Chiniquy:—"Je suis plus convainen que jamais que tu n'as
jamais ete interdit legalement, depuis que j'ai appris par Monseigneur de
Montreal, que l'eveque de Chicago t' a interdit de vive voix, dans sa chambre;
ce que Ligoury dit etre nul te de nul effet."
I am more than ever convinced that you have never been legally interdicted,
since Bishop Bourget told me that Bishop O'Regan had interdicted
you privately, "viva voce" in his private room. Ligoury says that it is a
nullity and that it can have no effect. I beg your pardon for what I wrote
against you. I have been forced to do it. Because I had not yet sufficiently
condemned you, and that my name, which you were citing in your writings,
was giving you too much power, and a too clear condemnation of Bishop
O'Regan, the Bishop ot Montreal, abusing his authority over me, forced me
to sign that document against you. I would not do it to-day if it were to be
done again. Keep silence on what I tell you in this letter. It is all confidential.
You understand it.
Your devoted friend,
L. M. Brassard.
