Response
of J.-A. Chapleau to the Letter of F.-G. Marchand Quebec,
December 7, 1897. "My dear Premier, I
have just re-read my letter to Mgr. Bruchési; it seems to me to cover the whole
field. You can assure your colleagues of the perfect conformity of our views on
this matter. It might be advisable to keep this correspondence confidential until
such time as you might be forced to table it in the Legislature. Yours
truly, J.-A. Chapleau". Source:
