Gifiard also came to see us. The Hospital nuns sent us letters of compliment very early in the morning; and the Ursulines sent us some beautiful presents, with candles, rosaries, a crucifix, etc., and, at dinner-time, two excellent pies. I sent them two images, in enamel, of St. Ignatius and St. Francis Xavier. We gave to M. Gififard Father Bonnet’s book on the life of Our Lord; to M. des Chzitelets, a little volume on Eternity; to M. Bourdon, a telescope and compass; and to others, reliquaries, rosaries, medals, images, etc. I went to see M. Giffard, M. Couillard, and Mademoiselle de Repentigny. The Ursulines sent to beg that I would come and see them before the end of the day. I went, and paid my compliments also to Madame de la Peltrie, who’ sent us some presents. I was near leaving this out, which would have been a sad oversight. We gave a crucifix to the woman who washes the churchlinen, a bottle of eau-do-vie to Abraham, four handkerchiefs to his wife, some books of devotion to others, and two handkerchiefs to Robert Hache. He asked for two more, and we gave them to him." 1 1 Journal des Supérieurs des 17th century,americas,canada,catholicism,christian books and bibles,christianity,church history,classics,earth-based religions,europe Earth-Based Religions, Corner House Historical Publications<
