Transcription of a copy of a letter from the Rev. J.-A. Allard, East-Bathurst, to the Hon. L. P. D. Tilley, premier and minister of lands and mines, Fredericton. – 15 December 1933. – 2 pp. of textual records. Allard reports that the people referred to in Tilley’s letter of 9 December live outside the Allardville colony. He goes on to say that “the statement is not exaggerated” and that he “could point out scores of cases much more deplorable”. Allard then describes some of the worst cases of poverty he has seen. In conclusion, the
curé notes that the municipal “councillors have decided not to give any [direct] Relief this winter”. He asks his correspondent, “What will become of those indigents”. MC290-203-27 Fonds des archives diocésaines de Bathurst, correspondence colonization, nov.-déc., 1933, PANB.
