Quebec June 4 1908 Thursday
The Davoz arrived last night.
Called to see the steamer and found it
a small gray steamer very poorly built.
The Captain is a Mr. Belanger. From him
learned that Oreta Schmidt was in
him
Quebec. Then looked up at E. Roumilhac
48 Rue du Palais or next door to the
Victoria Hotel. Found him a stocky man
with a fine face, about 40 years of age.
He then introduced me to the head book
keeper for Oronier who had left the island
via Halifax and will get back by the Davoz
his name is Leon Laeroux "Chief Book
keeper"
Dr. Schmidt offered me any part or all
this collection at the Island as a gift.
Then looked up and will leave two
two 1 Leon's gifts at the Victoria
Hotel.
Dr. Schmidt asked to introduce me to
P.J. or rather Monseigneur Lafamme
