User-Contributed Transcription V. D. Sir.
We had some new chapels blessed lately: the Book "Benediction of a Church" was made for the purpose and is only the responses taken from the Roman Ritual with a few verses in Shushwap.
The little [[parts?]] "After Communion" & "Ntlakupmoh etc." were composed & printed by me before I thought of introducing shorthand to the natives. I made besides a beginning of catechism & prayer book in Tompson language to which belong the two above. My book got to page 75 or so when I left it & took the shorthand; which contains now the same things & many more.
I am now essaying a new autographic press from Paris. Success is coming but very slowly.
Yours Very truly,
J M R LeJeune O.M.I
