I find myself under the necessity of complying with a request that Mr. Maillard (Father Pierre Maillard) has made to me, that the families of Louis and Joseph Petipas may be permitted to attend him here: These two men have made a particular attachment to Mr. Maillard and may be very useful as interpreters of the Indian language and otherwise, where I am to Request Your Excellency to Permit the to come hither together with six more families Viz. Abraham Lavandiere, Amand Braulds, Sigismond Braulds, Jean Baptiste Romas, Jacques Petitpas, and Jean Petitpas, whom I intend to employ, as they are recommended to me by Mr. Maillard, to be most skillful people in making dikes and wares to keep off the sea frm [sic] our Marsh lands about Mines and Piziquid and whose fidelity he assures may be depended on.
