Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations And Allied Documents, Vol. 62: Travels And Explorations Of The Jesuit Missionaries In New France, 1610-1791; The Original French, Latin, And Italian Texts, With English Translations And Notes; Illustrated By Portraits, Maps, And Facsimiles A score of Indians arrive who have all been instructed in their own country by one Christian woman, a chief's daughter. The Sillery Indians receive high praise for their fine voices and their devout manner of chanting the church hymns. These savages are little inclined to intemperance; I wonder that among so great a number of savages there are not 10 who give me trouble with regard to drunkenness. Bigot acknowledges his obligations to the intendant, Duchesneau, in aiding his efforts to prevent excesses among his savages.
