Note 938 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
On the French side we have Charlevoix (Shea’s ed., v. 280), and the Lettres Edifiantes, sub anno 1722-1724 (cf. Vol. IV. p. 316), with the Nouvelles des Missions; Missions de l’Amérique, 1702-43, Paris, 1827, both giving Father de la Chasse’s letter, dated Quebec, Oct. 29, 1724, which is also given in English by Kip, p. 69. Cf. Les Jésuites Martyrs du Canada, Montreal, 1877, p. 243. There is a letter of Vaudreuil in N. Y. Col. Doc., ix. 936. These and on the English side the letters of Rasle, edited by Thaddeus Mason Harris, in the Mass. Hist. Coll., vol. xviii., are the chief authorities; but Harmon’s journal and a statement by Moulton were used by Hutchinson (ii. 281). Upon this material the Life of Rasle, by Convers Francis in Sparks’s Amer. Biog., vol. 17, and that in Die Katholisches Kirche in dem Vereinigten Staten (Regensburg, 1864) are based.
