Excerpt from Histoire des Relations des Hurons Et des Abnaquis du Canada Avec Notre-Dame de Chartres: Suivie de Documents Inédits sur la Sainte Chemise Le Chapitre reçut cet envoi en 1678: il fut singuliè rement sensible à l'hommage rendu à. Sa souveraine maîtresse, et pour remercier les Hurons en mème temps que pour les entretenir dans leur piété envers'la Vierge, il résolut de leur faire parvenir un présent qui perpétuât chez eux le souvenir de leur consécration a la Dame de Chartres. Nous ne pouvons mieux faire que reproduire le récit de Sablon, témoin oculaire de ces faits (éd. De 1697, p. 140) Pour entretenir le zèle de ces bons et fidèles néophytes, le Chapitre leur envoya, trois ans après, une grande chemise d'argent ouvrante et plaine de saintes reliques, du poids de cinq marcs, de la grandeur d'un demy-pied, d'un pouce et plus de largeur, pour en faire voir la profondeur en l'ouvrant par le moyen d'un gros écrou a viz qui la retient fort justement fermée et qui est fait en rozace.
