Smith begs Timon to lose no time in coming to see them. Cellini had written to Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. to give them Father Benedict Roux during his absence. Yet they beg Timon to come if possible for Friday evening as Saturday is one of their feasts. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 1p. 4to., 5 CVIN IV-3-i Permoli, C.M., Father Bernard, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., St. Louis, Missouri 1826 Nov. 14 Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M., after giving Permoli the letter he had written to Timon to post, sent Permoli by Brother Joseph, C.M. a letter in which he tells Permoli to write Timon to send to the seminary the list he read in the church on All Saints' Day or, if he does not have it, to tell the Bishop where he put it. Rosati means the list of workers assigned every Sunday to work for the Church. Permoli sends his respects to Fathers Saulnier and Francis Xavier Dahmen, C.M.. Timon is to tell the latter to come here as soon as possible for Permoli is no longer capable of bearing this burden. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Odin, C.M., Father John Mary: Barrens, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M.: St. Louis, Missouri 1826 Nov. 20 Timon's letter was received. He sees with joy that Timon has finally begun to declare the word of God at St. Louis. Odin urges Timon to banish entirely the spirit of fear which disquiets him. St. Mary's Seminary seems to be on a good footing. Father Labadie has succeeded Timon as prefect of health. On Timon's return to the seminary he will live in his cell and consecrate all his time to sharpen his arms against the enemies of the Lord; he has not been given any function to fill. Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. received a letter from Rome announcing that a Superior General has been appointed for the entire society of Vincentians. He will reside in Paris. His name is Father Peter Dewailley, C.M. DeVeille. The vicar general at Rome is always full of zeal for the Barrens; he announces that the King of Portugal has established the priests of their Congregation in Brazil where they are strongly supported by the emperor. Father Leo De Neckere, C.M. is at New Orleans; he will remain there until the arrival of Rosati and will preach the jubilee in that city. Odin will go to Apple Creek in 12 days and proposes Thursday to go to Bois Brulé Bottom. The bishop has him preach often; Odin is glad to learn the language. Odin saw Mr. Myre's brother who told him that Myre desires to study here. Mr. Lesieur's new horse almost cost him his life, throwing him to the ground some distance from here. Dr. Harris thought he was dead and called the coroner. A half-hour or hour later LeSieur regained consciousness and asked hospitality of the Brothers. The next day he was able to continue on his way. Odin spoke to the Bishop regarding the negress whom Timon mentioned; the Bishop thinks it would not be prudent to contract new debts. Madame Rose Philippine Duchesne, R.S.C. may be glad to buy her. If she does not need her, the bishop will speak to Madame Eugénie Audé, R.S.C. who will probably buy her. Timon is again requested to send the patent of the land; it is urgent to have a deed made to the Congregation. Brother Donati, C.M. begs Further Edmund Saulnier not to have his vines pruned until he goes himself to gather the branches. The bishop wishes Timon to send the candle from the consecration of Bishop Michael Portier to Charles Grégoire at Ste. Genevieve. He also left behind an umbrella which Timon is to find and send to him. Father Jos. Paquin, C.M. also left a blanket or two. The bishop by mistake did not give two "gourdes" to Mr. Basseron, the blacksmith, or fixing his carriage. He asks Saulnier to loan Timon this pay him. Odin did not see Timon's father James Timon as long as he wished. He sends respects. He sends his respects also to Saulnier and Father Joseph Anthony Lutz. Timon is to write if his sojourn at St. Louis should be of some further duration. Father John Boullier, C.M. is on retreat where he will fill himself withzeal to go soon to Kaskaskias. Perhaps Timon can find in St. Louis some books in English fitting to give to Protestants. Today someone came from Whitewater asking for an English catechism and asking Odin to go there to preach. Odin would like to send some little Indian curiosities to his family by DeNeckere; Timon is to try to get a pair of shoes. P.S. Father Permoli, Boullier, Vergani, Paquin, etc. send regards and ask prayers. Timon is to give the enclosed letter to Lutz. :: IV-3-i - A.L.S. - French 4pp. - 4to. - 24 CVIN IV-3-i Flaget, Benedict Joseph, Bishop of Bardstown, Missouri 1827 May 19 The imposter Timon mentioned in his letter had already visited Kentucky, blessing and preaching sometimes as a bishop, sometimes as a freemason. Although bold enough to pass through Bardstown, he dared not visit any clergyman. He went by the name of Bishop Michael Portier, lately appointed bishop for the Floridas. Flaget wrote immediately to Fathers Blanc and Jeanjean in order that he might be detected. At least it has afforded Timon and Flaget the occasion to renew acquaintance. Flaget has great satisfaction in what Timon's prelate has told him of Timon's piety and zeal. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i De Neckere, C.M., Father Leon, Lille, France, to Father Peter Doutreluingne, Paris, France 1827 Jul. 16 De Neckere received Doutreluingne's letter and rejoices that they are again reunited under the government of the same Father and that the choice of the Holy See has fallen on a man as worthy as Father Peter De Wailly, C.M.. De Neckere has desired to learn whether Doutreluingne had received his exeat, and what his superiors have determined concerning his vocation. De Neckere was at Doutreluingne's home a few weeks ago; all were well and desire news of him. The pastor of Herseaux and Father? Marhem are much interested in Doutreluingne. De Neckere does not know what plans to make. Since his arrival in France his health is so broken down he cannot undertake the least fatiguing trip. If Doutreluingne finds any account about the mission of Louisiana which Father _____ Niel, American missionary, has published, Doutreluingne is to find out at St. Stanislaus College where they are and send them to Victor De Robiano at St. Acheul, to forward to Mrs. Ghyseghem. Letters to De Neckere are to be sent to Father Taffin, vicar of St. Catherine, Lille. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i De Neckere, C.M., Father Léon, Amiens, France, to Father Peter Doutreluingne, Paris, France 1827 Sep. 9 De Neckere has been at the seminary several days and his health has improved. Doutreluingne no doubt noticed the old date of the letter brought by Brother Joseph, C.M.. It was forgetfulness, caused by the sickness he has suffered from so long. De Neckere has some money given him for Father Stephen Theodore Badin, a missionary from Kentucky; he believes Badin is now in Rome. At the College of St. Stanislaus there is another American missionary through whom he could get this money to Badin. De Neckere does not know if Doutreluingne received his letter asking him to look for the accounts about the Missouri mission and to send them to Victor De Robiano at St. Acheul. If he has not sent them he is to send them to the Seminary of Amiens. De Neckere sends this by their confrere Father Bousquet, C.M.. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo. CVIN IV-3-i Rosati, C.M., Joseph, Bishop of St. Louis, Barrens, Missouri 1827 Nov. 5 Notice of the ordination in the parochial church of St. Mary of the Barrens, of Angelo Mascaroni from the diocese of Milan on November 1, 1827 to the subdiaconate, on November 3 to the diaconate, and on November 4 to the priesthood; Father Donatien Olivier, C.M., John Mary Odin, C.M., and Peter Vergani, C.M. assisting. Odin signs as secretary. :: IV-3-i D.S. Latin 1p. folio, 4 CVIN IV-3-i Rosati, C.M., Joseph, Bishop of St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1827 Nov. 10 _____ Rozier in the future will sell the merchandise at 25 per cent above cost price. Timon will soon have two boys, Mr. O'Connor's son from Prairie du Rocher, and Mr. Shannon's from Ste. Genevieve; they must be notified to pay the semester in advance?. Rosati has not had time to write to the editors of the Catholic Miscellany about visits, Confirmations, and ordinations at Florissant and the seminary. Timon can begin with that of Kaskaskia and continue; he can see the number in a little register in Rosati's desk and the date and names of the ordinands in the Register of Ordinations. At Mine à Breton, General Jones has given a fine lot for the church. Rosati urges Timon to draw up this report soon and send it to the editors., P.S. Sister Mary Layton arrived at St. Louis from Opelousas; her parents will be happy to learn this news. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo., 7 CVIN IV-3-i O'Neill, Father Jeremiah F., Charleston, South Carolina, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1828 Feb. 4 Timon's communication arrived by this day's post. The letter in which reference was made to Mr. St. Vrain and Mr. James reached O'Neill's office not before the end of autumn or the coming of winter. The United States Catholic Miscellany was sent to St. Vrain and O'Neill wonders why he has not received it. James' intent to subscribe was not clear. James permitted Bishop Joseph Rosati to state he would act as agent; he has been specified as such. O'Neill wonders if the Miscellany sent to the Bishop through St. Louis to the Seminary reaches there regularly. The Mississippi country and neighboring state are thickly inhabited by Catholics; he wonders if they know of the existence of the Miscellany. They have had money difficulties, such as would deter any other but the good Bishop John England from making an open stand. The bishop encounters not only powerful enemies from without, but also rebels from within the Church. The bishop's successors will not find a situation as difficult as he and his halpers faced. England is at present in North Carolina on his visitation; he travels without a priest. The paper is still considerably in debt; new subscribers would aid the work much. O'Neill arrived from Ireland in 1824, was ordained priest in 1826 at age 32. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Odin, C.M., Father John, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Father John Timon C.M., Kaskaskias, Illinois 1828 Apr. 10 Odin is here to say goodbye to Father Peter Vergani, C.M.. Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. wrote to have him come down. The bishop's letter tells the good news that Father Leon De Neckere, C.M. has been named his coadjutor. He is called to Rome for the imposition of hands. The bishop's return will not be until around Pentecost. He urges completion of the bakery. Timon is to ask Michael Butcher to come as soon as he can. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo. CVIN IV-3-i Potini, C.M., Father Anthony, St. Michael, Fredericktown, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1828 May 4 Timon has fulfilled all his commissions except the one involving many piastres which should have been accomplished first. This cannot be called secular business; it is only a service rendered to those to whom they owe not only respect but also a certain attention for the well-being of their family. If Timon really does not wish to send his father James Timon a letter relative to affairs which concern him, he has only to say so. Timon's father wrote that he had still not received a line from Mr. Smith. Potini does not recall any letter or paper sent by Timon's father without Smith's signature, except the first little list for provisions and that was before witnesses., P.S. Timon is not to bother to ask for a brickmaker because Smith will pay for the chimneys directly. Timon is to have a little distrust for a certain Mr. Rhetick who wishes to become a Catholic; he is to examine his motives well. On the address side of the letter: Politeness Mr. Hayden George W. Haydon?. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo., 5 CVIN IV-3-i Butcher, Michael, Kaskaskia, Illinois, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1828 May 6 Butcher received Timon's letter of April 20. He showed Mr. Novall Timon's letter of April 20. He showed Mr. Novall Timon's proposal in G. Cavanaugh's letter. Novall objects; one dollar per day for his work at the chapel and sixty-two and a half cents per perch at the Seminary is the lowest Novall will take. Both Novall and Butcher have been offered two dollars a day at St. Louis. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo. CVIN IV-3-i Borgna, C.M., Father Philip, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1828 Jun. 13 He regretfully left the Seminary without bidding Timon goodbye. He begs Timon to come down for next January 8. Timon can give the sermon in the cathedral that day before all the authorities on the occasion of the Te Deum chanted for the victory of General Andrew Jackson over the English. Borgna begs Timon not to set any obstacle should the Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. approve and he promises in recompense to fill Timon's mouth with new teeth. He will send the tea at the first opportunity. Borgna will undertake to buy everything necessary for the Sisters. Father Labadie has given him a little note which Borgna will fulfill at the first occasion. Rosati begs Timon to try to withdraw the amount himself for if the money comes into the Bishop's hands, Borgna will not receive a cent of it. Borgna must have left behind 2 or 3 volumes of Italian comedies and wishes them forwarded. Rosati left this morning for Mine à Breton with Father Francis Xavier Dahmen, C.M. and will return Monday morning. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i McGinniss, John P., New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1828 Jul. 8 He received Timon's edifying letter. Elizabeth is in good health. They had a letter from Father saying that he arrived safe at St. Louis and found the relatives in good health. The Rev. Mr. Manout, Father Constantine Maenhaut is in good health. Mr. Linn is in good health. They are repairing the church. Manout gives a fine sermon every Sunday. Lauran Dow is in this place; he made a speech last night but McGinniss did not attend. Dow says he is going to St. Louis to convert the people to the right way. If Timon sees an old man, under ordinary size, with a long beard and Methodist looking face, he may be sure that this is another Wolfe sic in sheep's clothing. Elizabeth has something to say on the other side.` A.L.S.` Written on the same paper: CVIN IV-3-i McGinniss, Elizabeth, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1828 Jul. 8 She snatches the pen from her John to inform her dearest brother of his affectionate letter. They would be made so happy if it were possible to see Timon here. She sends love to brother Owen and also to Sister Agatha; they must write to her. A.L.S. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Loisel, Father Regis, St. Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1828 Aug. 26 Loisel is lately returned from his little mission to Edward's Ville. The Catholics were extremely pleased to see a priest; the Protestants showed much kindness to him. He visited Mrs. and Miss Vignes?; the latter continues a Catholic, but is in danger of losing her faith through the endeavors of Protestant ministers. The great desire of the Catholics of that place to have a priest, and the good disposition of most Protestants, make him feel the necessity of going there more frequently. He will visit them once in two months. Timon will receive of the bearer, Mr. Martin, Sr. the two dollars Mr Hambaugh got for the two books. He could sell many more if the price were lower, 75 cents, for instance. If Father John Mary Odin, C.M. could make them available at that rate it would be a means of doing much good among those people. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Chiaveroti, Father Charles Louis, St. James, Louisiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1829 Jan. 5 He received Timon's letter of November 10, 1828. The description of the misfortunes of such a respectable community aroused in him much commiseration. But so hard is his present situation that commiseration and pity are the only means he has of acknowledging the call for relief. He is now under may a debt, from which he sees no way of emancipation. Chiaveroti is not yet sufficiently acquainted with the members of his congregation to stir them to make pious contributions. One of his confreres informs him that this means of raising money for the poor had been tried by himself not far from this parish, without success. He sends respects to Father Odin and to all at the Seminary. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Lutz, C.M., Father Joseph Anthony, St. Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1829 May 11 A few days ago he received a letter from the Bishop assigning to him the parishes of Prairie du Rocher and Kaskaskias and the surrounding areas. He would rather go to the people in the river bottoms who have fevers or to the village of Cahokia or to the Indians? since there are already 4 priests in St. Louis where 3 suffice. He is not joking. He makes his proposition and will accept the Bishop's decision as the Bishop is better informed. The Bishop knows that Father Louis Dusaussoy has gone and that Father Regis Loisel has in mind to leave St. Louis and go to the seminary or to one of the villages. He himself hopes to return to the missions for 5 or 6 weeks to live, from May 28 to the middle of July, when he will return to St. Louis. This the Bishop must not know or he would not have given him care of these two parishes. He will therefore expect a new letter from the Bishop., P.S. James Timon will be with Father Saulnier on May 11 at Louisville. He has heard that Timon's brother-in-law Mulligan has died. Father Dusaussoy goes to Baltimore on the vigil of Palm Sunday with Father Van Quickenborne. If a man dies unrepentant is he to be buries in holy ground? This letter seems to be in very bad Latin. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. Latin 2pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Massey, Samuel, Maramec Iron Works, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1829 Sep. 9 He is informed that Timon's institution is one for the education of youth. He has three daughters, between seven and fourteen years of age, whom he wishes to send to school for at least one year. He wishes all information needed by a stranger who wishes to send his daughters to school there. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Barry, Father John, Charleston, South Carolina, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1829 Oct. 6 He received Timon's letter of August 16. Timon's explanations regarding his prelate's subscriptions for The United States Catholic Miscellany are quite satisfactory. The uncertainty of the mails often necessitates the sending of second copies to subscribers. Since he commenced writing Barry has received a letter from his Bishop John England who is in The Miscellany/ If other clergymen in the Union would transmit such reports, the scattered members of the Catholic family would receive edification from their perusal. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Timon, C.M., Father John, Natchitoches, Louisiana 1830 Sermon for the Third Sunday after Epiphany. :: IV-3-i A. Sermon French 7pp. 12mo. CVIN IV-3-i Timon, C.M., Father John, Natchitoches, Louisiana 1830 Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany. :: IV-3-i A. Sermon French 10pp. 12mo. CVIN IV-3-i Dahmen, C.M., Father Francis Xavier, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1830 May 20 The bearer is Mr. Coop, whom Timon must have known in Kaskaskias. He is recommended by Mr. Vallé Sr. as a good tailor and a man of good conduct. Coop wishes to remain at the College under conditions Timon will explain to him. There are 100 piastres here for the Convent of the Sisters of Loretto at the Barrens. Father Edmond Saulnier sent them from St. Louis. They are from Mr. Reilly, in notes of the bank of the United States. Perhaps Timon will want to change them into silver. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Mullon, Father James Ignatius, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1830 Aug. 13 Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick, O.P. has desired Mullon to address Timon in reference to the subject set forth in the latter's letter July 18. Fenwick acknowledges the favor conferred by vindicating his character from the foul aspersion sought to be affixed to it by slander. The whole is a fabrication. When the spurious production first made its appearance, a Catholic layman furnished him with a copy to which he made no reply. Fenwick is too well known to be branded with treason against the government by the Reverend Mr. Ellis, minister of the Presbyterian congregation and editor of The Western Observer. All the correspondence he has ever had with the Society in France for the Propagation of the Faith is now, in pamphlet form, in his library and a sight of it might raise the blush, if that were possible, on the cheek of the Reverend traducer. It is not very likely that the Bishop of Cincinnati should dream of severing the ties of a union cemented in part by the gallant efforts of his father who served in the Revolution with the rank of Colonel, whose eldest brother and two cousins were all in the army of the United States and one of them is yet in service. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Tucker, Louis, St. Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1830 Aug. 27 In compliance with Timon's request, Tucker has made very active researches through town for a piano. Mr. Marilliano offered his piano which, although it is neither new nor first-rate, he pledges to be in good order. Tucker has seen it safely embarked aboard the steamboat Missourian. To expedite payment of the price, $150, tucker has endeavored to collect the whole amount due to the estate of the two Misses Roachford. He applied to Madam Riley who paid him $40 which was all she had in her hands. Tucker gave her a receipt, but she requested that Timon send her a receipt in Sister Benedict's name. The balance, she told him, had to be collected by Mr. O'Neal, so he urged O'Neal to make the collection before Father Joseph Paquin's departure. Since Marilliano is so anxious to have the money now in order to purchase another piano, Tucker has arranged with Mr. Walsh that if the money due from Madam Riley does not soon arrive, Marialliano may draw on Walsh for $60. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Pettit, G., St. Mary's Landing, Missouri ?, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1830 Sep. 19 Miss Kennett's relations have written to her regarding her coming home during vacation. If she comes she must come to the river by Tuesday or Wednesday. It is impossible for Pettit to render her any assistance at this time further than pay any expenses she may incur. Timon will do an unforgettable favor if he will hire some person to bring her in. She will receive letters with a bundle which will instruct her. Her brother-in-law, Mr. Swan, has gone today to the mouth of the Ohio and will return in two or three days. Pettit is on the point of starting to New Orleans and is so much pressed with business that he cannot do for her as he would wish. Regarding her schooling, he will settle all her bills as soon as he has a little time., P.S. Timon is to please give her the enclosed. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i DeNeckere, C.M., Leo Raymond, Bishop of New Orleans, St. Michael's, Louisiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1830 Oct. 17 Timon's letter of September 8 reached him. For him the remembrance of St. Mary's awakens his whole soul. He has never lost sight of the convent of the Sisters of Loretto of the Barrens, his zeal for it is now as active as it ever was, but circumstances impede its effect. Timon is now acquainted with the precarious state of things here. The late revolution of France has suspended DeNeckere's hopes, for they were chiefly grounded on the beneficence of the Catholic Association. However, if Providence comes to their relief, Timon's useful but needing convent will have a share. What Timon has told of Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. affords DeNeckere no common satisfaction. In this diocese there is much to be done and but very scanty and inadequate means to effect it. Timon has learned of the death of Father Eugene Michaud; one more vacancy added to the many already existing. No college, no seminary, no priests in the whole state of Mississippi, no prospect of obtaining laborers. DeNeckere intends to go to New Orleans as soon as the yellow fever has subsided., P.S. He wishes to be remembered to Fathers Olivier, Tornatore, Odin, Paquin, Brands, Loisel; to the seminarians of the congregation Vincentians, those of the diocese and to the scholars of the college. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

After having edified the Church by his piety, prudence and gentleness during his short pontificate he has passed to eternal rest. Boullier is to celebrate a solemn service for the repose of the pope's soul. After reception of this letter he is to add to the Mass the collect for choosing a pope which is to be said every day until news of the election. :: IV-3-i L.S.

Rosati is convinced that it will do much good and wishes to have it. Upon whom does it depend to furnish them religious aid? It does not depend on Rosati. Timon can judge better than he. If they could have Mass and Confession and Communion twice a month, it would be enough. They have had establishments in Kentucky where they saw a priest only once a month. Rosati would have liked to come to the seminary before Easter but his duties prevent. Rosati preaches twice on Sundays. During Lent Father Edmond Saulnier has instructions in French in the church and Rosati in English in the chapel set up in the brick house. They are well attended. Rosati has had a copy made of a letter written by a Sister of the Visitation at Georgetown to Father Theodore de Theux, S.J.. Timon is to read it to the Sisters and at the seminary. God be thanked for favoring America with such graces; the health of this Sister is not the only object of this miracle. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. folio CVIN IV-3-i Rosati, C.M., Bishop Joseph, Saint Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1831 Mar. 4 Timon's words regarding their seminarians have given Rosati great pleasure. He is delighted that the Sisters of Loretto can go to the home of Joseph Schnurbusch Snowbush. He agrees perfectly with Timon's judgement. The aim of an institute of Sisters devoted to the teaching of persons of their sex would fail, should it admit that promiscuity of girls and boys which is deplored in the schools of this country. Rosati is surprised that Timon, overburdened as he is, has sent Father John Paquin, C.M. to New Orleans since Father John Boullier, C.M. is making the same trip at the same time. The latter could have carried out the same commissions. Timon should have received a long letter with the report of the miracle at Georgetown District of Columbia. On the address side of the letter: Favor of Mr. Reath. Also writing in pencil which is almost illegible. :: IV-3-i A.L.S.

He agrees with Timon regarding the claim of Miss Nailes. She has no right to do it. They can profit by the limitation law which does not allow such claims after a certain number of years. Even if the law does allow it, Timon can reply by a bill from the convent for her board, clothing, medicine while she was sick. Rosati promised Mr. Maddock only to recommend to Father Philip Borgna, C.M. that he do something for him to make a like expenditure. Rosati does not know Mr. De St. Leger and does not know if it would be prudent to be answerable for some physics equipment. Rosati received a letter from Mr. Lafont of New Orleans, sponsor of Mr. Bordy, full of complaints against De St. Leger. Timon is not to make any promises. George Alexander Hamilton and Hilary Tucker left yesterday for New Orleans where there is good opportunity of a ship for Genoa. Rosati has written Father John Boullier, C.M. to wait for them there. According to the papers things are tranquil in Italy and particularly in Rome. Rosati sends greetings to Fathers Tornatore, Odin, Loisel, Olivier, Bonniot, Brands, McMahon, etc. Rosati wishes to know the name, age, and previous studies of the new seminarian., P.S. Reilly has $128 for the convent of the Sisters of Loretto; Timon can draw on Rosati and send a receipt to the Superioress. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.

They found Bishop Leo Raymond De Neckere, C.M. in tolerable health; he administered Confirmation to several children in the Church of St. Mary on the 17th. Tucker finds New Orleans very tiresome but does not expect that they will be able to embark before May 1. They will board the General Hand, bound for Marseilles. Tucker fears much from the present convulsed state of Europe; they have just received news that there is a revolution in Paris against religion and her clergy. Several priests escaped from the hands of an enraged populace but only with their lives; the sacred vessels and ornaments have been sacrilegiously profaned. Some priests have even been dragged to the gallows, but fortunately they were rescued by the National Guard.

He prefers that they adore at home on Sundays and feast days when they do not have Mass, rather than to the Barrens. He desires that they do not make such trips; it was always done thus in Kentucky. When Jean B. Vallé presents the draft for $128 he will be paid on sight. They have just learned of the election of a pope, Cardinal Bartolomeo Alberto Cappellari, Prefect of the Propaganda. He is a man of extraordinary knowledge and piety. His election is good fortune for the missions. Rosati has corresponded with him for 3 or 4 years and Cappellari always obtained what Rosati desired. Rosati will write to him and recommend the building of the cathedral for which Rosati has as yet done nothing. This prevents Rosati from coming to the Seminary as soon as he would wish. Rosati sends his respects to Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. as well as those of his brother and brother's daughter Josephine Rosati., P.S. Greetings to Fathers Odin, Olivier, Brands, Bonniot, Loisel, and McMahon and all at the Vincentian College and Seminary. On the address side of the letter: "Favour of Mr. Michel." :: IV-3-i A.L.S.

McMahon's reply did not come until mid-March. Young Brown is residing in the Deaf and Dumb Asylum of Danville, in good health and improving rapidly. The institution is entirely under Presbyterian control; the principal is the Reverend John R. Carr. McMahon begs that the boy's father and Timon interest themselves concerning the youth's religion. The principal stated that no letter had been received from Brown regarding his son. Bishop Flaget remembers Brown and family and has been delighted on hearing of his conversion. Timon's greetings are reciprocated by Father Edward Clark, the Mother Superior and Sisters of Nazareth and all his acquaintances here. Reynolds wishes to be remembered to Bishop Rosati and Mr. Rapier who, he hopes, has recovered his health., P.S. Mrs. Balfour and her sister, Miss Long, converts, have moved from Baltimore to Atlas, Illinois. Reynolds hopes some clergyman will from time to time visit Atlas.

Timon is also to send an account of his establishment to the editor of the Catholic Repository, Boston, with a draft of the new church. He is afraid nothing has yet been done about this just as about the commission he gave Father Joseph Paquin to send Andrew to St. Mary's landing. Timon is to send Rosati the Directorium Chori to copy the different tunes in which several parts of the Mass and Office ought to be sung. He will add this to the book of ceremonies, which will be published in English. Rosati had lately the mortification of reading the complaints contained in the enclosed no enclosure, also a consequence of the exactitude with which his recommendations are executed. he has requested Colonel R. Paul to have it paid at Baltimore by his correspondent and Timon is to write to the editor not to continue, or, if Timon wants it, to direct the paper to St. Mary's Seminary. Nothing new here. The severity of the weather has checked everything. Timon is to tell Mr. Hase that if he would act as agent for the Telegraph, he might write to the editors. Mr. Houghan has written for a great number of Catholic books to Fielding Lucas, Jr. of Baltimore; he will sell them at the Baltimore retail price. Rosati sends regards to Fathers Olivier, Odin, Paquin, Brands, Loisel, Bonniot, Dupuy, Lefevere, and Van Cloostere, and all the seminarians, Brothers and Sisters., Although Rosati scolds him a little, Timon is not less dear to him. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

Sometimes Timon and his confreres forget little commissions and neglect to answer. There were two occasions to send the Directorium Chori by Dr. Poillet and Rosemond Pratte but Timon did not use them. In a few weeks Rosati will send Timon $50 to give to whichever of the two establishments of the Sisters of Loretto that he wishes. This evening they will begin their retreat. The Presbyterians had an ordination today. A printer, Mr. Lovejoy and a lawyer Mr. Allen suddenly became priests. After Calvin calumniated religious poverty. Mr. Potts, his disciple, urged the most devoted members of his congregation to give up their goods and hold them in common to advance the work of the Gospel. He obtained ready compliance from those who had gone bankrupt. In two weeks there will be a second church, St. Mary's Church. Rosati has had the old college converted into a church by removing all the partitions and the floor above where Father Edmond Saulnier lived. It will hold 5 to 600 persons. It is for the colored people Negroes. On the first and third Sunday of each month there will be an English sermon at the High Mass. The Jesuits are in charge. Rosati has just received a letter from Father Victor Paillasson who has many troubles but much courage. Paillasson is trying to build a church.

Her name is Caroline. Mah's health is very delicate; Joanna fears her end is nearing. Mah is grieved at Timon's and Father Odin's seeming neglect of her and her family.

He sees nothing to urge the taking in of Miss Aubuchon as a novice at Bethlehem immediately; a delay will show whether her health will permit her to join the Sisters of Loretto. Rosati is glad to hear the new increase of the Snowbush Settlement; the Germans are very industrious and useful citizens, and excellent Catholics. Rosati sends his compliments to Joseph Schnurbusch Snorbush and all the new comers. A good number of them come to St. Louis; Rosati directed some to Mr. Roussin to Rich-wood where there is public land vacant. Others have been to look at the country towards St. Charles; others toward Belleville. A larger number are to come. Rosati expects a priest from Lorraine who speaks French and German, and who is now parish priest in the diocese of Nancy. St. Mary's will soon be finished, a fine church. Last week Rosati conferred with a "Heavenly Messenger commissioned to disseminate the Book of divine scripture found through divine revelation by one Joe Smith." The man applied for his consent to preach the new book. Rosati proposed that they go together to the graveyard where the man, to prove his commission was to restore a dead man to life. The "Messenger" went away promising to sell the book to Rosati for $1.25, in a few days. Rosati has not yet seen him. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

Rosati has asked Mr. Bouvet to take the necessary steps. Rosati has heard that Timon's brother Owen Timon has left for the seminary; Rosati hopes Mr. Wilkinson will come by again as he promised.

Rosati recalled that Father John Odin, C.M. or Timon and they had concluded that she could receive the Sacrament without this consent, dispensing her.

He will see the Sisters of Loretto in a few weeks. He cannot obtain a regular correspondence with the Seminary. He sent $50 for six months' board of Baptist La Chance or Deguire. Rosati would have been glad to know if he arrived safe and if they received 6 copies of the Rodriguez, two for the monastery and four for the seminary. Timon's observation about Jourdain leaving ecclesiastical dress before he left the house is correct. He should not have been permitted to remain there one minute. Rosati heard by chance of Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. coming back; before he left the boat at St. Mary's he might have written a few lines. Rosati sees he is beginning to be looked on as a stranger but his heart is warm to the seminary. The French clergyman which Rosati had requested Bishop Louis William Dubourg to send for the seminary is coming. Rosati is sorry that the prospectus of the Catholic Press has been misunderstood. The French paper will be sent only to French subscribers but the American will receive it entirely in English. He is sending back the numbers of the Eagle? and the Focus; he has been pleased with them. He supposes that the editors and the contributors do not neglect their duties for the sake of their papers. Rosati has been writing 6 hours this morning besides giving First Communion and Confirmation at the convent. Holy Thursday they had 100 Communions, on easter 200 at the Cathedral.

He concurs with Timon in the notion of making an establishment for the Sisters of Loretto at Father Francis Cellini's place. The Sisters should keep the school in their own house; it would not do at all to sent them to town. Rosati does not think it proper that the priest should live at the Sister's house; a small house might be built for him near the church. Timon is to tell Louis to prepare to receive subdeaconship when Rosati is at the seminary in 2 or 3 weeks. If there are others to be ordained the Superior may prepare them. Rosati will come with Mr. O'Neil and Judge Leduc. Does Timon think they might land at Joseph Pratte's? Rosati recommended so much the box with six copies of Rodriguez to that boy and is astonished that he did not bring it to the Seminary. He is truly from Vide Poche. Rosati must send someone to Fever River who speaks English.

Rosati wants Timon to find a way to prevent anything that would give rise to similar steps among their confreres. Rosati talked to Mr. Leduc about the piano. He believes he cannot sell it to Timon because the person wished to keep it. He will make a search through Mr. Philipson to find one which will suit Timon.

He is charmed to know that the Sisters of Loretto are learning a fine musical Mass, and are ready to come as soon as the priest house is ready which he hopes will be in less than a month. He does not know whether he can come to the Seminary before the vacations but hopes Timon will come before and take him down. Then they can fix the day for the nuns' coming.

Not knowing where the Bishop would send him, Saulnier thought to leave Patrick at the seminary. Now placed at Carondelet, if Patrick could be sent back, he would comfort Saulnier in his solitude. At Timon's request Saulnier saw Timon's last lines to his parents. Last Thursday Timon's sister, Mrs. Kenthen McGee, married a Protestant. She could not pay off a half sou because she is among the liquors and debts of her last husband who died last July. Yesterday Saulnier went to Gravois, Missouri; Father Peter Verhaegen was there a little before him. A controversial fight was scheduled but the Methodist minister sent an excuse of sickness.

About the same time Boullier received a letter from Tornatore consigning him to hell with Judas. Boullier will teach him how to behave and mind what he writes. Timon is not to fail to come on October 7 and preach here. Boullier cannot go to the Barrens next week, but expects to go soon. He does not want Mr. Pratt's concession. He looks for another place concerning what he told Timon about the nuns. Timon is to send word by Isabelle Moreau, the bearer of this letter, whom he recommends to Timon's care and attention, whether Mr. Cissel is willing to sell his negro boy Albert. Odin will perhaps know something about it. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

He is confident that, as the Catholic population will increase there, before long the establishment may be resumed and go on more prosperously. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. folio CVIN IV-3-i Cellini, C.M., Father Francis, Frederick Town, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1832 Oct. 22 Timon's retarded return from St. Louis induced Cellini to solicit the coming of some of the Sisters of Loretto in this new house before his going to St. Louis with Madam Mary Smith. They were to depart this morning when it was reported that cholera raged in St. Louis. J.B.? Bossier came from St. Genevieve and forwarded Timon's letter in which Cellini thought to clear his doubts, but in vain. Cellini gives no credit to what is reported in the Republican. He is sending back Mr. Louis with the carriage and asks Timon to return it again with the other Sisters and advise whether it is prudent to let Madam Smith go there. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

They arrived here eight days ago in good health, but in alarm for the cholera had begun in New Orleans. Timon's sister especially was frightened but tichitoli succeeded in calming her. At present tichitoli has placed them about two miles from here, in a pious family. They will write soon. Tichitoli spoke with Narcisse Landry and several others; they will all take a warm interest. The epidemic is not so violent in New Orleans now. At Donaldsonville there was but one case. Tichitoli wrote to Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. to make 350 intentions of masses to be acquitted by the priests at the Seminary. In case Paquin has not received the letter, Timon is to do it himself. When some come down for the business of the Seminary, tichitoli will arrange the affair and satisfy all he owes to the Seminary. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Mr. Taylor brought them some weeks ago. Father Philip Borgna. C.M. was to have sent them from Ste. Genevieve where he went at the beginning of this week; at least he sent them to Father Francis Cellini, C.M.. Rosati is leaving in a few hours for Vincennes where he is to meet Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget; he will do all he can to induce Flaget to take the route through St. Louis. Rosati will be back in ten days. Timon's brother has been very ill with the cholera, his sister lost a negress and Rosati's household lost their old Lydy. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.

Some say also that strangers can safely visit New Orleans now. Timon's brother-in-law and sister are still with a particular family but both seem of a very weak constitution. They could not recover here in a climate milder than St. Louis but Tichitoli does not know how they can establish themselves here. Tichitoli first thought Mr. Douglas might have a little store and at the same time work at his trade but he is almost destitute of money. They have no house furniture. Board and lodging cannot be found for less than $40 a month for both. If they lived by themselves, her weak state of health would make a servant necessary and this would be not less that $15 a month. As for his trade, there is another one, a Creole. People are used to buying on credit and very cheaply, their saddles and bridles coming from the North. Tichitoli has too many debts to advance them anything. Perhaps some of Timon's rich parishioners will. Tichitoli will speak to all the Landrys. Tichitoli will also write to Father Louis Moni; he is so good, perhaps he can arrange all. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

Tichitoli gave a picture of their situation in his second letter. They are both improving in health, and still living in the house to which he first sent them. But Douglas has not yet found any suitable situation. Tichitoli wrote Father Louis Moni in New Orleans, whose answer he now awaits. He spoke to William Duplessis, a gentleman of great influence in New Orleans that he might interest himself. Both will exert themselves on that account and tichitoli is sure they will be advantageously established there. As soon as Douglas acquires capital he might return here and go on by himself, keeping a little store. His trade of saddler would not afford him enough to live on as there is already a Creole in that trade., P.S. The little village and parish have no cases of cholera. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

It will probably not be in De Neckere's power to send at once the $100 for Masses but he will endeavor to forward it in two or three parcels. He now sends 40 Masses. New Orleans has been severely visited but except for a few cases, it has subsided. All their Sisters of Charity have been sick with the cholera or yellow fever. They thank Providence for having spared all their priests., P.S.D Neckere has sent the $40 through the Bank of the United States to Father Peter J.

Father Francis Xavier Dahmen C.M.'s health demands some change and Rosati ordered him to accompany him. Rosati wrote to Father Peter Paul Lefevere to come to St. Louis to take Dahmen's place until their return but he may have gone to Salt river and in that case he asks Timon to go at least twice to Ste. Genevieve. Father Robert A. Abell got into a controversy with a Methodist minister called Pence, the same one who was at Barrens. Abell triumphed but the minister has said he would be back in four weeks to answer. Timon must be there at that time. Flaget is sorely afflicted. He has had news of the death of Father Charles J. Cecil Cissel, a young priest of 28 and of the fatal sickness of Father Linus Coomes. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.

Will Timon inform him how he desires the money to be forwarded? All is quiet here, even Brother Peck. This reverend Postmaster of gracious memory received so many rubbings of late, that it is believed he feels quite sick of his past struggle against "the Knight of the Shears," as he called him. Brother Lee is also asleep; so they have fair days and fair play at present. Verhaegen received a letter from Belgium last week; it is commonly believed that next spring the Hollanders will recommence hostilities. May they be well lashed!

He has at times ambitious visions. He has thought he was going through the military decrees as a general; at other times he walked like a sailor. He wants the Church through Timon to interfere and stop it. He has thought at times that he was acting as a priest and at other times as a bishop. He has thought at times that there was anticipated a division of the Catholic Church. If there is, he has no part in it and will consider himself as belonging to the old Church and not to the new. He would not alter one item of the Catholic faith of Church rules. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. folio CVIN IV-3-i Stephenson, Elizabeth, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1832 Dec. 31 By the request of R. Daugherty's parents and her own wishes she addresses Timon. They wish Timon to come if possible. Daugherty's father-in-law and his wife are doing all they can to ruin him in property and in mind. Timon has it in his power to arouse Daugherty and make him sensible of his duty to himself and his business. He seems to care nothing about the world except his children whom he says he will have, let it be on what terms he can. If Timon cannot come shortly, his advice would be of infinite service to Daugherty and soothe his diseased mind. He lives a mile in the swamp all alone and will not have company. Twice he has been found in a fit. Stephenson would be glad if Timon or any of the Fathers would come to preach while she is here.

Sister Leocadia, S.L. is an excellent teacher and Mother Agnes Hart, S.L. will make a perfect mistress of novices. For the present they can give no others. Brother Charles will accompany them to Bethlehem and bring back to Loretto the precious remains of their founder, Father Charles Nerinckx. Brother has made the box himself, being an excellent carpenter. Timon knows the reason for Rosati's trip to Kentucky. They have persuaded Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget to resume the administration of his see, from which he had resigned. Rome has been asked to appoint him the new Bishop of Bardstown. Bishop John Baptist David has resigned. Bishop Guy Ignatius Chabrat has been named coadjutor. Rosati will return next week; he will go straight to St. Louis., P.S.

He is sure that Mr. Courtin's trip to New Orleans will have the same effect that Bundy's had the year before. But if he insists on going it is clear that it is a pretext to abandon his vocation. In that case it is useless and dangerous to refuse. They are far from seeing the day of a native clergy. They must have recourse to Europe., P.S. Timon is to watch over the subject of whom Rosati expressed fears when it comes to a matter of sending him into a Congregation.

Should he not be here before the last of this month, she will thankfully accept Timon's kind offer to wait for their tuition money until she gets the returns for her tobacco. She wishes to send four of her daughters and to place them under his guidance and care. Mr. Davis has been harassing her ever since he took out letters of administration; the suit comes on Monday in the Circuit Court for the debt of $675 she owes the estate. If her tobacco sells at a tolerable price, she will have from $800 to $1,000 to pay it with. She has now in Orleans 9 hogsheads since June and has no returns as yet. Davis prays the Court to give an execution immediately; he is about to pocket all the proceeds of personal property for his administrationship, etc.. Colonel Ranney says that it is altogether illegal. She wrote to her son last week but is fearful he will not be in time to save her land. Could Timon see Mr. Scott and get his opinion; she would be glad to have Scott attend to her business. Davis has taken every advantage of her; he brings in as a set off the crop she made the year after her husband's death. She must be at $200 expense toward keeping the family or enter into a lawsuit. Timon is to pray for her and to present her respects to Father Odin and beg his prayers. She asks to be remembered to Mother Benedict and the Sisters. She will endeavor to come up to make her Easter, if not with her daughters. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. folio CVIN IV-3-i Tucker, Hilary, Rome, Italy, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1833 Feb. 16 Tucker is conscious that he has been rather neglectful in answering Timon's letters. Timon's last came 58 days after date. Now that the carnival has given them two days of vacation, he will send all the news. From external appearances the political state of the popedom is ameliorating. Father August Jeanjean has been in Rome since December 25 at the Propaganda and tucker passes an hour with him every day. Jeanjean is engaged with the Prefect of Propaganda, Cardinal Pedicini and Monsignor Castracane, the secretary, giving them information about the Church in the United States. Jeanjean is not only learned but also warmly attached to the American people and constitution. He will soon go to Naples on a visit to Bishop Joseph Rosati?'s brother. Bishop John England has been in Rome nearly two months. He made the funeral oration of Charles Carroll in this city. On Christmas Tucker saw the pope celebrate for the first time in St. Peter's. Tucker has not seen a great number of the rarities of Rome as he will remain here a long time and is in no hurry. The number of students in their college is 89; 10 are Americans. Tucker is now studying philosophy and mathematics. He expects soon to be called on to take the oath of allegiance which imposes very strict obligations. On the 26th a consistory is to be held in which a bishop for Cincinnati will be elected; two are proposed, Fathers Peter Kenny, S.J. and John Hughes of Philadelphia. It is now contemplated here to do something for the salvation of the Indians and St. Louis Diocese is to be the center of all efforts. Most probably the Jesuits will be in charge. Tucker hears that great numbers of Germans continue to arrive. In the College there is a Hollander who is willing to go to America. Two or three more Germans will shortly be priests and desire to go to America. Tucker wishes Timon could send him the Catholic Repository, not so much for himself as for the rector, Count Charles Reisach who would go to America if he could be spared here. Tucker sends respects to Fathers Tornatore, Odin, Paquin and all of his fellow students. Timon is to tell Charles that Tucker hopes he will persevere and be ready for the mission when Tucker returns. He expects to hear of Louis Tucker being established parish priest by the next letter. Tucker sends his respects to the Sisters and in a particular manner to Sister Agnes and to his family and friends.

Dahmen is too ill, he must go to Doctor Linn. He begs Timon to come to him., P.S.

He has not yet seen Dr. Sergeant and cannot tell whether he wants his as a loan or not. Since Boullier saw Timon he has been reflecting on establishing a nunnery at Old Mines. He thinks the sooner the better if they could get the approbation of the Bishop. He has spread everywhere that they would have a female school next Easter. The house Boullier has rented for them will be liable to be paid only when they come. He does not know whether Mr. Hibbard is willing to wait so long for his rent. If they were at Old Mines, Boullier in going down would bring all their provisions.

Father Constantine Maenhaut gave Timon's sister, Mrs. Douglas, $50 and observed to De Neckere afterwards that he intended them as intentions of Masses to be acquitted by Timon. De Neckere was not able when Mrs. Douglas applied to him for assistance, to afford her any and he accepted some $20 or $25 upon condition that a number of Masses would satisfy for it. De Neckere will now keep 20 intentions and asks Timon to accept the 30 intentions remaining. Mr. Douglas intended to move across the lake where he thought brighter prospects offered. Timon will have learned of the death of Father Joseph Tichitoli, C.M. on February 27 after 17 days of a severe illness of which Father Francis Cellini, C.M. will tell the particulars., P.S.

From what he heard she has very good dispositions and comes in spite of her relations who did not want her to become a Catholic. Timon had told Boullier that he would receive her in the Barrens.

A son born about three weeks ago has been christened Ambrose. The three oldest children go to school. They pay $13.50 rent for their house. Business was very slack during the winter. Eleanor had an attach of typhus fever about 6 months ago. Stereotyping three small books, The Christian's Guide, American Songster, and Letter Writer cost him about $350. Timon's cousins, Kitty Kelly, Mary Russell, Rose, and Eleanor are well except for Mrs. Russell's old complaint. John Owings sends respects. Father Edward Damphoux is abridging a work for Kenedy called Christian Perfection. Kenedy lists the books he is sending to Timon. The bill amounts to $100 and the box is directed care of Timothy Davis and Company. A railroad is to be commenced between Baltimore and Washington. Howard Woods is fenceless and a great portion dug away for sand; a new market place is to be where the old poor house stood. The largest hotel is finishing at the corner of Eutaw and Market Street. On Pratt Street the fronts of warehouses and stores are being replaced by granite pillars. Kenedy has a friend, Levi Taylor, a stone cutter, who endorses for him; he is an old acquaintance of Kenedy's father's. Bernard Coskery often inquires about the family as does Connolly, the button maker. Kenedy hopes Timon will come to Baltimore as he was the only junior branch of the family they were most attached to. He is glad that Mr. Daly is well? and that brother Owen is doing well.

Rosati is grieved by these obstacles to God's work. Paillasson wishes to have the title in the Bishop's name because these properties will go back not only to the Sisters but also to the Church and because the laws of this state do not recognize a corporation of Sisters. If the Sisters of Loretto could have a legal existence and own property in their own name as in Kentucky Rosati would not hesitate an instant to demand that in all the foundations the property be owned by the Community. So Rosati will follow the example of Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget who before the right? was obtained in Kentucky, had the title of all the Convents of his Diocese in his name. The Sisters change houses, some could quit their calling; the titles would have to be renewed often. Are there not examples at the Barrens? Is there not a married woman who was formerly a superior and have not priests been overtaken by death before making a will although they had Church property? There is a striking example among the Sisters of Charity of Emmitsburg; they own only their Motherhouse but they never refuse to take an establishment which does not belong to them. Their houses multiply and they prosper. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Rozier, Ferdinand, Ste. Genevieve, Missouri 1833 May 5 At a meeting of the inhabitants of Ste.

The money is in bonds but it will not take long to cash them as soon as De Neckere has them. He is anxious for Timon to have it as he knows he has need of it. In the same will there is another article regarding St. Mary's of the Barrens: 200 piastres for Masses for Richard's soul. Since it is difficult to send checks De Neckere asks Timon to tell him how he can send him $50 for as many Masses as Timon can say for De Neckere's intention. If Timon can draw on him through Ferdinand? Rozier in business with Mr. Mager here, he could shorten the task. New Orleans is healthy at present. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.

From the O'Hara settlement, they went to the English settlement and passed the night at Mr. Newsome's. Bishop Joseph Rosati was unwell, their horse was sick, but they got to Belleville. They dined at Governor John Reynolds' who lent them a horse. Arrived at St. Louis the Bishop was taken sick; today he has relapsed. Here every day someone falls victim to the epidemic. Among Catholics of note who have died lately are Mr. Higgans and Mrs. Murphy. Among the Protestants was Mrs. Cocks, daughter of Dr. Favia?. A murder was committed here by poison; the perpetrator took $24 from his victim and threw him into a well. Timon is to inform Sister Agnes Brent? that Tucker is here. He would like news of all and from the different establishments of their good Sister. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Borgna, C.M., Father Philip, John M'Evoy and P.

His remains were taken to Sacred Heart Convent and buried in a tomb on their property. Father Joseph Anthony Lutz is worn out; the doctor says it is his liver. Borgna has written to Father Francis Cellini, C.M.; Borgna begged him to come to St. Louis as soon as possible. Four days ago he went down to the College. He is not in bed but so feeble he can rarely say Mass. Timon's father James Timon almost had an attack of cholera; he is better. Marguerite Timon? is slightly ill but it is her fault - always a child, always imprudent. Sickness is lessening. Le Clerc also had some cholera symptoms. Madame Octavie is dead; she is a saint?; she will pray for this mission., P.S. Borgna has need of some rest; he will take it at Timon's. :: IV-3-i Printed circular English; A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.

Timon can have a loan for two years; the security they leave to his own management. Interest will be charged only from the time Timon receives the money.

Miss Penn from Valena is in charge of the house, and no less trouble for Cellini; so it will be with Miss L. Jacques. He thinks the house is already in debt and probably hopes to have many scholars this winter, and maybe never. Such equivocal subjects ought never to be received, much less to be sent to a house so far from the Mississippi, where it is so difficult to send them away when their whim moves them to leave. Cellini was at a loss a few weeks ago when Miss Penn would go away to town immediately. He was obliged not to use his authority but also to threaten her with punishment. His only hope is that he soon will be free. He will write to the Bishop to send Father Louis Tucker, or any other, and Cellini will retire elsewhere. Timon is the Superior of this neighborhood, and may dispose at his pleasure. Cellini exhorts Timon to come to see him before he leaves this place. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. folio CVIN IV-3-i Rosati, C.M., Bishop Joseph, St. Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1833 Aug. 28 Rosati thanks God that He inspired the saintly Father Benedict Richard to make the Convent at Bethlehem, Sisters of Loretto his heir. Rosati has just received a letter from Mr. Mitchell and his father-in-law who hope to have from Kentucky, at least two Sisters of Loretto and ask for one from the Barrens to establish a convent in Missouri near Fort Leavenworth.

CVIN IV-3-i Tucker, Hilary, College of the Propaganda, Rome, Italy, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1833 Sep. 7 It has been more than a month since Tucker received Timon's letter of May 17. He scarcely has words to express to all, especially to his fellow student, his pleasure at the marks of their esteem. George A. Hamilton is now almost perfectly well. They are on the eve of going to pass the vacations at their country villa at Tivoli. For the last two months Tucker has not been in good health; all foreigners find themselves debilitated in this climate. Tucker knows nothing of the affairs of the Lazzarites! Vincentians here as he has not been to see them for 6 months. But Timon's order has of late sustained no inconsiderable loss but the Church at large has gained what they lost. On July 28 five sons of St. Vincent were promoted to bishoprics in the kingdom of Naples. On August 25 Cardinal Mattei died; he had been a cardinal only three months. Last Wednesday, Martin John Spalding publicly sustained seventy-one theses in the presence of Cardinals Pedicini and Castracane. He acquitted himself of the task to the entire satisfaction of all present. Yesterday they had the distribution of premiums; the gold premium was taken by John Ryan of Halifax. Joseph Balffe of Philadelphia took three premiums. The ensuing year Tucker will study Moral Theology, Ethics, Ecclesiastical History, and Hebrew. Timon is to remember Tucker to Sister Agnes Brent, V.H.M. and all others; he has before him the prospectus of the new Academy at Kaskaskia. The Sisters of the Visitation are peculiarly adapted to the people of the country. Timon is to send Tucker the Shephard of the Valley if he has an occasion. He has seen a considerable report of the Philadelphia controversy but would be pleased to see the whole of it. Timon is to give his respects to Tucker's father, brothers, and families. Father Odin has no reason of complaint of Tucker for not writing oftener to him. On the same paper: CVIN IV-3-i Tucker, Hilary, Rome, Italy, to The Young Gentlemen of St. Mary's Seminary, Barrens, Missouri 1833 Sep. 7 Tucker was much affected at learning by a letter from Timon that they all still cherish a tender remembrance for him. He would prefer to pass his vacation on the banks of the Mississippi as in times of old. In looking back he cannot refrain from poetical language but he is a declared enemy of poets although Mr. Robira is one. He describes Propaganda College for them, its resident dignitaries, its divisions of students, his view of the city and St. Peter's, the order of their day, their clothing, and his sightseeing trips. Tucker is sorry to hear that the diocese is deprived of the labors of Mr. Rapier; religion will reap the advantage of his talents. He sends his esteem to Fathers Tornatore, Odin, Paquin, Brands, Loisel, the Brothers, others, especially Father Boullier, if they can. He takes each by the hand, Messrs. Roche, Robira, Cotter, Coustin, name indecipherable, Van?, Morison, Charles, Henry, Joseph Elder. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

Some of them may still serve in the seminary. Since the melancholy event that has befallen them. Blanc has received Timon's two letters to their late beloved Bishop Leo Raymond De Neckere, C.M.. Timon's draft of $50 will be attended to in its proper time.

They will proceed on today or tomorrow. He thinks he has found a master of music who will visit Timon's college. He can teach the violin and clarinet, is a German and a Catholic, has a family and appears to be a very good man. If they allowed him to build a log house and make a garden, he would be able to support his family. Perhaps the house where Valerie lived would answer. Rosati will speak to a German organ maker and send him to the Seminary and to St. Louis. They might have floored, plastered, and enclosed that room which is intended for the purpose. Timon has no doubt heard of the great loss which the American Church has sustained. Where shall they find another Bishop Leo Raymond De Neckere?

Dr. Mason and his wife would be a careful occupant. Mason would want it only a few months as he is about building near there. He is not willing to pay the rent that Mr. Skeel had been paying.

Blanc now has some money from the estate of Father Benedict Richard, to be distributed among the legatees. Timon may draw on Blanc, for the seminary, for $100 to be said in Masses, as Bishop De Neckere had advised. $100 more will remain due. Timon may draw for $400 for the Sisters of Loretto. Father J.F. Brasseur says that he was indebted to the seminary for $50 which he thought they would have to pay themselves. Last winter Blanc paid Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. $100 for board and tuition. Their $50 appears to be for clothing, etc. The seminary is not in good circumstances but they have never been in arrears. The $50 will be paid by the bishopric. Sickness was decreasing but strangers are flocking in and fall sick in numbers., P.S. Everything regarding Richard's estate has been settled in good faith; the court has taken their cognizance of it. It will be prudent not to speak loud of it. Probably the balance of the legacies to the Sisters will not be paid before August 1834. Blanc has just received a letter from Richard's principal debtor who says she has a letter from Richard allowing her until 1835 to liquidate herself with him. Blanc expects to be able to send the $100 due the Seminary before Spring., P.S. October 18: Blanc has just received Timon's letter of September 29. He is sorry of the ill fate of Timon's draft on Mr. Major. Blanc was prepared to pay it; he does not know who Major is. Father Maenhaut knows no more about him. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

Odin met Father August Jeanjean just arriving from New York. A priest from Lyons accompanied Jeanjean; he is destined to open a Seminary in Louisiana. Everybody had expected to salute Jeanjean as Bishop of the Indians, but they have been disappointed, Jeanjean remonstrated on the impracticality of it and the Pope acceded. He is to see what could be done. Timon will see Jeanjean at the Seminary before he returns to Louisiana. Father Boué is anxious to visit their seminary. All the Bishops have arrived except Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget who will not come and Bishop Michael Portier who is expected hourly. The council will convene shortly. They do not know as yet what will be discussed. It appears that it will be the appointment of new bishops and the limits of the dioceses. The Bishop of Philadelphia Henry Conwell arrived yesterday. It appears that he is opposed to Bishop Francis Patrick Kenrick and that he is unwilling to relinquish the administration of his see. He is quite blind; he must be led. Odin has seen John? Kenedy and Timon's sister. Odin will go again tomorrow to pay the money he brought from Washington.

He is 15, has been raised in Arkansas by his step-father Colonel Walker; Alford believes Timon will find his disposition and habits to be good. Alford wishes him to study reading, writing, and arithmetic; he desires that the boy understand geography and the use of maps. Probably the boy will remain in the Seminary a year or more.

He is truly grieved for it; he feels that if they are not assisted through their great difficulties they will scarcely be able to prosper. Tucker does not mistrust the good will of Father John Brands, C.M. but he fears that as to the temporal, Brands is not sufficiently versed in the true economy of the world. Tucker hopes God will not abandon a work which until now has done so much good. Father Francis Cellini, C.M. spent about ten days here. He left this place three days before the Feast of All Saints and did not reach St. Michael's until Wednesday after the feast. Cellini said he would return as soon as Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. arrived from his journey, and that he would not go back anymore. If Cellini does, Tucker expects that he will immediately take Cellini's place. The Bishop states that he will not be here until about Christmas. Father August Jeanjean has arrived from Europe and will accompany him home. Mr Horne? visited here, he appears firm in his faith. He came to Mass accompanied by his wife and sister.

Their testimonials are favorable but past experience has proved the necessity of not being too precipitate. They are Patrick Ratigan and Jeremiah Langton. Bishop Flaget asked David to write and he himself will write to Bishop Rosati. The reason of their change is their health although this climate is not very different from Missouri. David wishes to know about their dispositions and talents. They labor here under great difficulties; they have 11 seminarians who are under a young priest David ordained last September, Father George A.M. Elder? whose extreme diffidence obliges David to assume the title of Superior and give him the title of Director. David performs some of the functions but the weakness of his lungs will not permit him to do it constantly. Father Anthony Ganilh, who teaches four hours in the College, gives a lesson in theology to 3 or 4 young men. Father William E. Clark will begin to give lessons in logic after Christmas. David is not without hopes of some good priests from Europe. He understands that many who think the storm is approaching wish to shelter themselves in this happy country. David sends respects to Father Donatien Olivier; David has not forgotten the dinner he gave David at his brother's table about 1783 with the fish he caught in the forest of Sautron. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

He deserves to be punished in order to learn submission and respect. They say he has never done anything except what he pleased. It was difficult to keep him from leaving last Thursday; he wants to take the coach to Cascaskias next Tuesday. Doutreluingne has engaged a young Frenchman, about 17 or 18, to work and to take care of the church. He will pay him 3 piastres a month in the winter and four in the summer, and buy his clothes. If Timon thinks it right to send Robert back he will receive him willingly since his parents gave Doutreluingne authority to correct him. Timon will recall that he gave Doutreluingne 10 masses when he was at Ste. Genevieve. He has said only two and fears he will not be able to say the others and asks Timon to take them back along with 25 others., P.S. Doutreluingne asked Robert to wait until he receives Timon's reply. He said he would. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-i Odin, C.M., Father John Mary, Paris, France, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1833 Dec. 27 In his last letter to their Superior, Father John Baptist Tornatore C.M., Odin promised to write to Timon. He had to visit their seminary at Amiens and college at Mont Didier at the request of their Superior General. The seminary of Amiens was built by the Vincentians some time before the French Revolution. It is superior to any of the kind in France. It accommodates 300 students. It surpasses everything even at Lyons. Odin spoke a great deal to the Bishop of Amiens, the priests, and students, about America and to the Sisters of Charity, who have five beautiful houses in that city. All their confreres at Amiens wish to see the American province united to and depending from their house in Paris. then they will be assisted and strengthened. Their college at Mont Didier is numerous and flourishing. They follow the American plan of education. Odin addressed the young men and spoke about America. There are two houses of Sisters of Charity at Mont Didier. Today a letter came from the seminary of St. Flour saying that many young seminarians wish to go to America. There are 23 novices at present. Father Etienne, C.M. has written to Spain and Poland for some members. In Europe they knew nothing of America but the scandals of Louisiana and many of their confreres who asked to go to America refused because of the dangers apprehended in this country. Odin has removed the bad impression. Etienne told him that if they gave $1000 a year he would train young men and as soon as they made their vows they would be sent to America. Odin told Etienne he was sure all would agree and promised the yearly sum. Odin relates a circumstance three years ago during the novena of St. Vincent de Paul. A Sister of Charity on going every day to their house saw the heart of St. Vincent and heard a voice saying that he was exceedingly grieved by the evils of France. After the novena a voice told her that St. Vincent was a little consoled. This Sister also had a vision of the Blessed Virgin telling her to have a medal struck the Miraculous Medal. After 18 months the Sister's confessor spoke to the Archbishop. The medal has been struck and wonderful conversions and cures have been obtained. Father Aladèle, the confessor, related the whole story to Odin. Father Boullangier, the Superior of the house, was miraculously cured by that instrument of devotion. The page is cut off here. ... would please them better than to see some of them among the Indians. Affairs in France and Europe seem to be in a deplorable condition. The fear of a dreadful war is entertained everywhere. Sundays are spent in a shocking way in Paris. The Archbishop of Paris made a beautiful sermon to raise funds for the orphans whose parents died of the cholera. Those children are all under the care of their Sisters of Charity. Odin sends his compliments to Fathers Tornatore, Olivier, Paquin, Wiseman, Loisel, Brands, and to all the seminarians and students at the college, and to the Brothers and Sisters. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 8pp. 4to.

The affectionate respect impressed on Timon since his visit to Kentucky and David's kindness makes his wishes for information a command though the subject is a very delicate one. Mr. Ratigan came here on June 9, 1831. About a year afterward sickness rendered study impossible. He left a year ago. He arrived here again about December 2, 1833 and would have stayed but the Superior wished him to apply for another year to Latin and logic and Ratigan decided on retiring. Mr. Langton entered here on February 7, 1832 and left September 20, 1833. At departure on account of his health, he received testimonials from Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M., their Superior. He returned December 20?, 1833 but the Superior wishing him to apply to Latin before beginning his Philosophy, Langton expressed determination to withdraw. Later he mentioned that his determination to withdraw was caused by fear of relapsing into delicate health. Both have ever showed a most persevering wish to fit themselves for the priesthood. Ratigan has roamed about since his first departure. In the first but not in the second a certain mediocrity of talent has been feared. Langton may be of considerable assistance in David's college; Ratigan also, so that David's charitable trying them until he can decide will be no loss while a rejection might place them in difficulties and danger. Timon read the passage of David's letter to Father Donatien Olivier who sends respects. Olivier remembers well the dinner at Sautron and offers his respects to Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget and reminds him of a letter by which he long since invited him to his seminary to end there his days in peace. He says the Bishop mentioned in his letter a "Nunc Dimittis" which David was to set to music and which Olivier was to sing on arriving at David's place. His health is excellent.

Lightner has not yet seen Tornatore, the package having been left at Dr. Mason's. Timon's favor to Mr. Ellis with the draft was received. Lightner has taken deeds for five; he has not yet procured that of Mr. Gibboney wishing to see Mr. Sanford first. He will procure Mr. Garner's next week. He has arranged with the administrator of Kinnison's estate to present an order at the March term of court to have it sold. Messrs. Russell's and Bauman?'s he has not yet heard from but feels pretty certain that can also be obtained. This will complete the whole block of lots.

Gibson has made offers to give land, etc., but if his offer be of no avail, several persons are anxious to purchase. Gibson intends to lay about 50 arpents off in town lots in case a branch is sent here. If this is an objection, he will dispose of all the land to Tornatore. He intends to leave here next week. He continues to ask $2000 for the land from Mr. Vallé and were a survey made he would be compelled to give more. Gibson's proposition of $500 to the seminary and land with a lot on the river would be lost by a sale to them. In case Tornatore wants the whole tract, Gibson's subscription of $500 will be deducted which will make the property to Tornatore at $1500., P.S. If it is known that the seminary will be located on the land, Vallé would enlarge his offers but Gibson will not accept them. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

It was understood that the Superior of St. Mary's, Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. would visit here to close a purchase of some land for Gibson. If he has not arrived, Gibson would like to be off., P.S. Should the Superior not visit, Gibson will be under the impression that it was a preconcerted plan to play a child's game with Gibson. If Tornatore wants his land after sundown, he will have to pay $2,000 down. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4PP. 8vo.

He thinks Louis Courtin is far from returning to the seminary. Robira is very late; he has not returned from Campeche. Timon is to make the children speak English; the parents seem to believe they talk too much French at their College. Mr. Kernion, father of Gustave Huchet, withdrew his son to send him to St. Louis because they speak more English there. H.

Timon is to tell him of his letter and try to end the affair. Since the $1,500 has been offered Dahmen would be glad if it were given. That piece of land would be worth a lot; he would like to have that piece of land belong to them., P.S. Gibson was chagrined by the affair that took place here when Tornatore was at Ste.

Should Tornatore wish to locate a branch of his college at the place, Gibson will be ready to meet his subscription of $500, 6 acres of land and free use of the stone quarry. Should this not meet Tornatore's approbation, Gibson is willing to surrender to him or his agent, Sidney Breese, obligation for the land on the river between the Messrs.

Timon is to take care of him and if he is absolutely decided to quit the Seminary, Timon is to send him to Rosati who will keep him and in better times he will return. The case of Mrs. Ellen Maher is very difficult to decide; they should both be heard. At present Rosati cannot leave St. Louis. He cannot send Father Philip Borgna, C.M., he and Father Joseph Lutz are the only clergymen with him. Father Ireneaus St. Cyr will go back to his mission next Monday. Rosati will be obliged to go to the Mines on the fourth Sunday after Easter for the benediction of the church. Rosati has received Father Odin's letter and that of the Superior General.

Paillasson would have been pleased to stay a little longer with Timon but his absence had been so long that he was ashamed to not run every risk for his flock. Moseley is accompanied by two young men who, he hopes, will return better after a few days retreat at Timon's. Bulton?'s sisters gave great trouble here. The Sisters of Loretto, to procure peace to their school, were obliged to pray the widow Bulton to not send her daughters to school anymore. They were answered by a scornful letter written by Lawyer Smith whose wife died recently. Paillasson has mentioned to those different gentlemen what Timon told him in regard to their pupils. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.

Mr. Marallano will sell for $280 plus the cost of crating and shipping. They must act immediately and write to Menard and Vallé, Ste. Genevieve. Rosati has received a second letter from Father John Mary Odin, C.M. He will procure subjects for the Congregation not only enough to fill the seminary, but also to make other establishments. Timon is to tell the Superior that LaChance is to return as soon as the time expires for which his board is paid; it is toward the middle of the month; that the money for his trip is to be furnished; and the bill for all to be sent to Rosati. LaChance is to be told that the person who takes care of him wishes him to learn a trade, that Rosati has found a good place for him at the home of one of Rosati's friends. :: IV-3-i A.L.S.

Boullier has been advised that the fourth Sunday after Easter will be the time for consecrating or at least blessing the church at Mine à Breton Potosi. He does not dare ask anything more of Timon or Father Jean Baptiste Tornatore, C.M. but for something like the consecration of a church he begs him to come to assist at the ceremony.

Gibson must have Sidney Breeze's bond which he let Timon have. Should the Superior make the purchase it must be done before payment is made to Breeze as Gibson will dispose of it to raise funds to pay the debt. Should the superior still have doubts about the honesty and fairness of the transaction, gibson does not require a cent until the Superior gets a warranty deed for the bond., P.S.

Their rector, Count Charles Augustus? Reisach, said Odin would have some assistance from Vienna and the Duchess of Hainault to which places he had written for Odin. Timon need not expect Bishop John England of Charleston here in a short time. England has been asked by the president of San Domingo to act as mediator between him and the Holy See in pacifying the troubled state of the Church. They have just received two students from Charleston. George Hamilton? was reduced to the last extremity by smallpox but is out of danger. Several other students had the same disease but none died. Italy as regards public affairs is very tranquil. They lately received the visit of the Duchess of Bavaria, widow of Eugene Beauharnais; she was accompanied by her daughters. Tucker is happy to learn that Bishop Joseph Rosati is to be here in a year from this date.

O'Hara was appointed executor and intends to discharge that duty with honesty. Mrs. Maher received her annuity until her marriage to Maher when she left the place O'Hara prepared according to the orders of the will. Those provisions were for the support of her family but not for Mr. Maher's family. As O'Hara was not a competent judge he consulted Father Victor Paillasson who told him to consult a lawyer. O'Hara consulted Mr. Kane of Kaskaskia who said he thought O'Hara had no right to pay it any longer but if they contended, he should give them $50 rather than a lawsuit. Mr. Newsham? 2 or 3 month s ago asked O'Hara if he would leave it to Bishop Joseph Rosati. O'Hara agreed to comply with his decision. Through Father Vital Van Clostere O'Hara showed the will to the Bishop but as he was not acquainted with the laws of Illinois he refused to decide on it and asked O'Hara to consult Timon., P.S.

He is at home and in a condition to converse with Timon more to Timon's satisfaction than when they last parted.

Many ancient French towns in this section have been endowed by the government with large tracts of land, styled "Commons," whose proceeds are to be applied for educational purposes.

She has a land claim to get confirmed in Arkansan territory. She asks Odin to beg Timon to see who could be entrusted with that business. Mr. Kane of Kaskaskias might do it. The letter of attorney is sent to Timon to delegate whom he chooses. The Baroness is in poor circumstances on account of the revolution. She has always been at the head of all good works in Europe. If the claim is confirmed the greatest part will be left for religious purposes. Timon is to send the enclosed receipt to Father Anthony Blanc; he will write Blanc in a few days. Brother Capaldo, C.M. is a very trusty person; perhaps it would be well to give him the care of the refectory and the keys of the cellar. Timon is to try to have the novitiate house prepared somewhere; Odin will try to carry a good sum of money and as many subjects as possible., P.S.

Father John Mary Odin, C.M. writes that he wants to send from Lyons a group of Sisters of St. Joseph. The difficulty would be to find a suitable priest to establish and direct a school. Rosati thought of Father Regis Loisel. Rosati promised to take him to Europe but the trip will not be for a year or 18 months. Rosati must pay for the church and leave everything in good shape. In that time they could replace him. They should not lose this occasion to establish religion in a country where it is so much neglected; Loisel would have to make this sacrifice; the climate would suit him.

The reasons Timon exposes for leaving Father Regis Loisel, C.M. at the seminary until Father John Mary Odin, C.M.'s return and their journey to Europe are satisfactory. Rosati has received a letter from Bishop Simon Gabriel Bruté who leaves it to Bishop Flaget and Rosati to determine the place of his consecration.

CVIN IV-3-i Bruté, Bishop Simon Gabriel, Vincennes, Indiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1834 Dec 2 Being uneasy over their $50 application on the order for Mr. Kennedy of Baltimore, Timon is to let Bruté know. Bruté had a letter of Father Wiseman full of kind expressions. After the feast of St. Francis Xavier, Bruté will travel to Rivière au Chat to answer. Bruté shares in Timon's consolation at receiving such an increase for his society Vincentians. He is sure in the graces loaded on them, the successor of Pius VII granting Venerable Father Felix de Andreis, C.M. to America to Bishop Dubourg even against the Sacred College resisting him. The "Ami de la Religion" announced the return of Father John Mary Odin, C.M. with them but Bruté is afraid he did not accompany them. what a blessing if there was any hope of Timon giving a mission here. Since the Holy See would have this new see created, all who know Bruté's special incapacity and destitution of means may consider it a good work to share in it. Bruté is alone, only Father Patrick Ratigan; Bruté can but be perplexed at his great weakness, scarcely Latin enough and also some too confident turns, yet with some good data which makes Bruté fear to be too severe and deprive Indiana of a sufficient helper perhaps to prove afterwards really useful. Timon, who knew Ratigan long, is to help Bruté with his advice and impression. Timon is to give Bruté's respects to Father Tornatore and Loisel and asks their prayers, particularly those of Father Donatien Olivier who served poor Vincennes so many years. Bruté does not suppose that Olivier collected any notes on his predecessors, the Jesuits. Bruté would be glad to find any but Fathers Flaget and Rivet and others were between his time and those of the Society whose services here had their end at the same epoch as the fatal persecution that deprived France of them about 1763 or 65. However, Timon is to ask him about it., On the address side of the letter: Speak of Mr. Hase in next." :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. folio CVIN IV-3-i Morton, Samuel, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M.

Brandts, 10 or 15 of their relations arrived from Maryland: one of Mrs. Morton's brothers, Mrs. Warthing's family and Mr. Miles' family. They are all acquaintances of Father Wiseman, C.M. and are anxious to see some one down here as they are at a loss for a church to go to. Morton asks for a loan of $200 to $225 for a short time as his trip to New Orleans was very unsuccessful. He has money coming to him from the 20th to the last of next month from his brother in New Orleans. It is impossible to raise it here.

Their College of Propaganda is greatly increasing; they are now 106. Two arrived last week from New York, one only 10 years old. They lately lost a young man from Corfu who would have soon received the Doctor's cap but consumption took him off. There are about 20 Americans. In vacation they dined with Pope Gregory XVI at their country villa at Frascati on October 14. He was accompanied by Cardinals Weld, Fransoni, and Mattei. He asked Tucker if he were not an Irishman but was soon acquainted of his mistake. At a late hour he left for his country castle near Albano about 4 miles distant. An Indian queen of the East Indies sent the pope $60.000. Cardinal Zurla died October 28. They heard of the death of the Archbishop of Baltimore about ten days since. From the papers one would believe that the United States was in a state of anarchy. Tucker does not believe it but he is not of the opinion that the present form of Government can be of long endurance. He is now studying dogmatical and moral theology, ecclesiastical history and Hebrew. He wishes he were ready to commence his apostolic labors. He has not heard a word of Father John Mary Odin, C.M. since he left Rome; he supposes Odin is in France. Tucker sends regards to his brother Charles Tucker, Sister Agnes, Louis and old acquaintances at the convent. He has not heard one word from the Bishop since he left Baltimore after the Council last year. George Hamilton is in good health and sends good wishes. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

Genevieve by tomorrow or enclose the notes drawn in Gibson's favor to care of Father Francis Xavier Dahmen. Gibson will pay Felix Vallé and deliver the deed, now in Father John Brands' name, to Dahmen. For all his disappointments the Superior might date the notes back to the time when they first purchased of him at the Seminary and Ste. Genevieve, about last March 10, or allow $100 more on the price of the land. He must close the business on the 25th and wants Timon to have the land. As to his visit, Gibson asks forgiveness; his mind was deranged and he has not been at ease for some time past., P.S. The Superior can draw the last note for $600 payable in three years. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 1p. folio CVIN IV-3-i Odin, C.M., Father John Mary, Genoa, Italy, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1834 Dec 24 Odin has written a great many letters to Timon and to Bishop Joseph Rosati and received only a few lines that Father Jean-Baptiste Tornatore, C.M. wrote in May. He continues to occupy himself for the good of their Congregation Vincentians and religion in Missouri. Their confreres of Poland have promised2 or 3 priest, he will obtain a very good one from Piedmont and 2 novices; probably a few from Spain and France. The great mixture in their seminary is apt to dissatisfy the minds especially of the novices. Would it not be well to fix the house at Cape Girardeau and place there those who have not finished their studies or novitiate. Timon might borrow $1000 which Odin will refund on arrival. The Pope desires very much that they do something for the Indians. Timon told Odin that a physical apparatus might be very useful' it will cost about 8000 francs. If they purchase only what is needed to complete the one they have it would save a little to pay their debts. If Timon answers immediately Odin will receive the letter at Paris. Their Superiors in Europe are disposed to assist them for the future. Bad information had made a fatal impression but Odin has made them understand the good to be done. The Sisters of Charity in Piedmont are desired in every direction; they have 8 hospitals. If those of America could be united to them it would be a great thing. Europe continues in a poor state. In Spain religion is losing ground. Odin hopes the companions he has sent are already arrived. The Piedmont priest who will accompany Odin knows French; he is looked on as one of the best of their house of Plaisance. So many persons have been collecting that it is hard to get something. He thinks it better to start for America in the spring. He has about 25,000 francs and hopes to collect more. Propaganda promised to furnish this year about $3000 and a similar sum next year until they are entirely out of debt. the superior General wishes them to try to make a good establishment at Cape Girardeau. The priest of Plaisance might make a good Master of Novices. Odin sends respects to Tornatore, Paquin, Brands, Olivier, Loisel, Wiseman and all friends. He was told a few days ago that Hilary Tucker and George are well. They regret to be away; it is poor speculation to send young men to study in Europe., P.D. They have replaced the relics of St. Vincent in their church of Paris. Odin will leave Genoa day after tomorrow. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

At the Bishop's return, Borgna will try to spend a few days at the seminary; a little rest is all he needs.

The 5 gentlemen who embarked with Father Peter John De Smet, S.J. from Antwerp are daily expected here. After 100 miles, De Smet took very sick and had to land at Deal, in England. Verhaegen hopes he will inform them that he reembarked at Liverpool for New York. Last Sunday Verhaegen was the only priest able to act in the house; the others were all sick. They are overburdened.

Rosati has many payments to make and no money. He went with Father Francis Cellini, C.M. by the Mines on his way back to St. Louis to see if he could borrow some there. But Messrs. Casey said they could not give more than the 1000 Rosati had received through Captain White in St. Louis, before his departure. Father John Boullier, C.M. is willing to give $2,000 when he received them from Mr. Roussin. Rosati must borrow at least 4,000. Last year he lost Minthy and had to buy another black woman for $500. He is obliged to sell Elisabeth but it will be to good and respectable Catholic families. Timon is to speak to the superintendent; Timon is to send her by some good opportunity. Rosati wishes to know her age and how much he thinks it might be worth. Rosati received a letter from the Archbishop of Baltimore informing him that the refusal of Father Auguste Jeanjean has been accepted at Rome. He sends his compliments to Father Tornatore, and all the Fathers and Brothers. He has sent the $50 to the Bishop of Vincennes. Rosati has a bad cold.

Nothing could be sweeter than this sign of confidence and nothing more painful than to be unable to respond as he would wish to, because of a lack of suitable men.

If Timon has a recess at Easter, would it be beyond all discretion's limits to desire a mission from his able and fervid heart? Or might some help be granted from Father Francis Regis Loisel? Bruté loves Father Joseph F. Wiseman too much to call for him so soon. The people promised some subscription to Father Benjamin Petit, but did not pay it. Bruté's own list of subscriptions is not yet begun. The main trustee offered $3. The pew revenue, $159, avails little in the face of current expenses and debts. Bruté gave them his first three years' revenue expected from renting ground near the church, if that promise excite the people to fence. Patrick Rattigan, who is gone to Pittsburgh, seemed at first ready to take a school at St. Mary's. A congregation from Kentucky near St. Peter's served by Father Simon Lalumière and also by Rattigan could give Rattigan $70 or $80 for 6 months. He might have been lodged at Mr. Spalding's. The same offer would probably now be made. After the Rattigan incident, Bruté would inquire more fully into the fitness of John Kenny. The diocese of Vincennes surely needs priests. Bruté received $50 from the Bishop and a wonderful letter from Miss Emily Harper. Rosati told him of the death of Timon's brother James Timon, Jr.?. He will be glad to receive Carl Bona's good book when printed., P.S. Father Auguste Jeanjean is in Paris; Father A.

The fanatics can come to some secret plot to burn establishments and churches but the progress of religion will not suffer. They must show no alarm, even for this Valdo. Bruté would like all their papers to have the true priestly character. Valdo, Bromlee, Breckenridge, Bourne, or Smith, etc., what does it matter. Catholic truth versus Protestant error in their true colors as in Bossuet and Fenelon. Bruté wrote often to the editors of the "Jesuits" that this would end badly; this is Father John Elroy's opinion and also that of Father John? Hughes from whom he had a letter yesterday. Breckenridge visited Hughes recently, said he would remove his name from the list of abettors of the Vindicator, etc. He is a man of doubts, like Hobart.

Timon mentioned that they expected to receive some money from New Orleans of the legacy of Father Benedict Richard. In case they have, Timon is not to forget the Sisters of St. Michael's. On his return from St. Louis he found a letter from Father Tornatore requesting whether Cellini would receive the young clergyman Father John Kenny? Kenny to teach school. There is not the least arrangement here for school; Cellini does not think it proper to let him come. Another one, lately arrived, almost withdrew all the scholars of the convent. At present Cellini is alone. Father Louis Tucker has been appointed parish priest of Mine Breton. Cellini hopes Timon will not forget to come often to see him.

Rosati wishes that Charles Rolle be disposed to receive the priesthood and Ambrose Heim and Michael Guilbride, subdeaconship on Holy Saturday. Anyone else who might be promoted is to be sent with them and Father Regis Loisel that they may assist at Holy Week ceremonies. Rosati received a letter from Father Auguste Jeanjean written in Paris. He embarked in New York October 24, landed at Havre November 17, reached Paris November 19, remained there incognito until he received word that his refusal had been accepted. He intends to sail for America after Easter with Father John Odin who, when last heard of, was in Milan in November. Father Etienne gave Jeanjean the circular letter of the Superior General to forward to Rosati; Rosati has sent it to Father Tornatore, Jeanjean says the exercise of the Catholic religion is now quite free and public in Paris. The seminarians who are not satisfied should be made sensible that they are perfectly free to go, that their being received into the Seminary is a particular favor. What is true of Cape Girardeau is true in many other places in the diocese: Rosati receives letters from Catholics who wish they could be visited, etc., but Rosati does not have a man. They are very busy in St. Louis, but pleased at the zeal with which many assist at the exercises. Father John Cotter has over 60 children at his French catechism class, Father Joseph Lutz has also many at the English class. Rosati preaches on instruction and makes public prayer in French at 4 p.m. each day; Father Philip Borgna, C.M. does the same at 7 p.m. in English.

The trouble Doutreluingne has been given, very unjustly in his parish, afflicts Rosati very much. If his health and duties permitted he would come tomorrow himself. His parishioners should recall what Rosati told them on another occasion that in sending Doutreluingne to Kaokias [Cahokias] as their pastor he was doing them a great favor in giving them the preference over many other Catholics who have asked for a priest. But Rosati is convinced that it is not all the parish which persecutes Doutreluingne. These troubles are stirred up by a handful of individuals who are not the most zealous for their religion. So the many should not be punished by leaving them without the help of religion. Doutreluingne is to call them together, announcing that this gathering is the only one Rosati recognizes. If they promise to submit to rules which experience has proved to be so useful for the good of the parish, Doutreluingne is to continue his services; if they refuse Rosati will arrange to give his services to those who will appreciate them better. :: IV-3-j A.L.S.

Bruté has to continue preparing his seminarian for many things, to yield him after Easter to the clamors of the north about Fort Wayne; so many Catholics who have not had a priest for 9 months. Bruté has lost the esteemed Father Stephen Theodore Badin who remains now in Cincinnati; it is doubtful he will return. Bruté wrote a distressing letter to Timon's superior, so affected was he by Lalumière's return. Beside the ceremonies he will have a crowd of confessions, First Communions, Easter duties of many years, and a Confirmation on Quadragesimo Sunday, to attend to. Yet he says nothing of his maladministration of temporal land of the church, debts and revenues. The parishioners cannot agree to have a subscription list. They did not subscribe half of what they did? for Father Lawrence Picot, who had not succeeded to get half what Father Anthony Blanc had. They say they will give as they choose; that means for most, nothing. Bruté lives on his abroad-money from the good young lady's! who wrote such an edifying letter. Then from a dew others, $20 and $20, as for instance Messrs. Campbell and McMeal, once so well known to Father Joseph Wiseman. Bruté does not despond but will have to think more after his first perhaps ill-directed efforts how to proceed better to fulfill his too great trust of founding a diocese.

Dupuy rejoiced at the announcing of the departure of Father Charles Rolle for Arkansas. McEnery requested Dupuy to receive him as a school-master and favor him with the confidence of the people. On Dupuy's consideration and on the clause that three of his children be taught, Dupuy's neighbor gave McEnery a tolerably comfortable house for the school and his lodging and table. This year he will probably have 15 scholars at $20 the year. If he is a man of good character and temper, he will have at least 25 and more scholars next year. Dupuy requests information on McEnery's religious conduct, patience and constancy. On questioning, McEnery never answered favorably to Timon's house which Dupuy knows better than he does.

He also asks the prayers of the Sisters. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to CVIN IV-3-j Tucker, Hilary M., College of the Propaganda, Rome, Italy, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1835 May 23 Tucker has just received Timon's letter of March 17. He is sorry to hear that so many of his old friends have been taken off by the ravages of life. He had already heard of the death of Brother Angelo Oliva, C.M.. Tucker returns thanks for the interest his fellow seminarians seem to take in him. Father Louis Tucker has entirely forgotten that he has a brother; Hilary has not received a letter from him for near 2 years. It seems that Charles had gone home on account of his health. Tucker hopes Timon will encourage him to bear up against the weary hours in college. Tucker is in excellent health as is also George A. Hamilton. They expect some more fellow countrymen from the United States. The Scotch College, which for two years was united to the Propaganda, has lately reopened. His Holiness came to visit them last carnival; it is said he will go this year to Perugia. Tucker wishes there were a good number of zealous laborers to send against those who are endeavoring to disperse the flock. The Protestants in the United States seem determined to make one great effort against the Catholics. If they will wait 3 years Tucker hopes to be one of their opposers. He does not wish to return sooner. Timon is to tell his father's family that he is doing well and to give his respects to Fathers Tornatore, Paquin, and other priests at the College. Timon is to tell Charles that he wrote not long since and to give a passing word to the friends at Bethlehem. tucker received a letter some months ago from the Bishop; he appeared to have been very sick., P.S. Father John Mary Odin, C.M. is one of the three on the list for the bishopric of New Orleans and his name stands second in the Consistory of next Monday. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-j Bruté, Bishop Simon Gabriel, Vincennes, Indiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Perryville, Missouri 1835 May 28 He found Timon's last letter of April 20 at home last Saturday when he returned from a visit of more than 600 miles, 550 on horseback, which he performed with unbelievable ease. He was first in Edgar County, Illinois for their Easter duty; than at chicago with Father Irenaeus St. Cyr. Then he went by Michigan City, Laporte, and took part at Father Louis Deseille's Indian mission, Pokegan Village in Michigan, near Niles. Then South Bend, Indiana, visiting not the establishment, which is no more, but the beautiful grounds of Father Stephen Theodore Badin at St. Mary's of the Lake, Notre Dame, ready fore anything, for the Jesuits, for St. Lazare, for etc. Then to Chief Chickako's village, another mission of Indians of Deseille, whose footsteps all the Ferris and Carey and such mock missionaries are not worthy to kiss. Bruté was delighted with the poor people in both places. The first is within one mile of that famous Bertrand, Michigan whither $70,000 has been sent by the Protestant editors for a nunnery, but not as yet one cent by the pope or the Emperor of Austria. they use their own book in Ottawa language. He confirmed 16 at Chickako's and was presented with all the usual forms and decorum of council holding and speeches with Bruté's answers through the interpreter, Mrs. Campe?au, 70 years old and Deseille helping too. One half section of their reserved land is yet under their father Andrew Jackson's approbation. Then through Logansport, Lafayette, and Terre Haute, a rapidly improving town, though Chicago beats them all, to Vincennes. Bruté has resolved to go to get priests from the old countries, since he can get not one here. Now for almost one year appointed to this new See, a voice crying in the wilderness. He thinks of starting the end of June or July, regretting not to have seen first Father John Mary Odin, C.M. but he is gone to Spain. He asks Timon's advice and help in asking Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. for the $50 he was so kind as to grant to Vincennes. The bounty of the Leopoldine Association has been announced to him, but after those 24 days traveling with a neighbor, at Bruté's expense, he is left with $25. If there be a real grant for Matthew Felix Ruff, his board, etc., Bruté will account for it after a while. He requests Timon and Father Joseph V. Wiseman, C.M. to try to give Ruff what they think useful for opening his mission at Fort Wayne. He writes thus on this great festival alone. Father Simon Peter Lalumière is encircling the east and north as Bruté did the opposite side. He went from Davies county, through Columbus, Shelbyville, and Abington to Fort Wayne, thence to sweep the canal to Logansport, having more Catholics to assist than Bruté found after Edgar county., P.S. The paper is torn here but the word Olivier appears. Bruté says nothing about Ruff in whom there is so much truly good. Timon is to do all possible to prepare him well before sending him back. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. English and French 4pp. 4to.

Messrs. Shelby and Knott arrived here late last evening, the former very badly wounded in the heel from the upsetting of the carriage. One or more tendons were severed; Dr. Mason has sewed it. Shelby will be without use of his leg for 3 months, and will probably limp for life. The Superior Father John Baptiste tornatore? is a little better, but extremely weak; he thinks of going aboard a steamboat as far as Mr. Pratte's tomorrow; he may possibly do it. When the Superior arrives at the Seminary he will send some one down to take care of Shelby. Wiseman is a poor nurse. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-j Verhaegen, S.J., Father Peter J., St. Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1835 Jun 14 Verhaegen takes this opportunity to forward to Timon such observations as will furnish an answer to the letter of the Honorable L.J. Linn., 1. St. Louis University was commenced at the earnest solicitation of a number of St. Louis citizens who were conscious of the large number of youths deprived of an education at a moderate expense. Day-scholars, whose average has been from 50 to 100, have been admitted at the rate of $5 per annum., 2. The first building, 50 by 40 feet, 4 stories high, was raised partly by subscription. The citizens of St. Louis subscribed $3,000. During the last four years two wings have been added; for the first a subscription of about $700 was obtained at St. Louis; the second was constructed entirely at the expense of the members of the Institution who contracted a debt of over $3,000, still unpaid. The cost of the buildings, including furniture exceeded $25,000. The want of several other edifices is much felt. To place the Institution on a decent footing with regard to outbuildings, philosophical apparatus, and library, an expense of $6,000 at least should be made., 3. The establishment is conducted by a president and 13 professors. There is no endowment for their salaries. The number of students is 190., 4. The moderate rate and absence of public assistance render it impossible to admit many orphan children. There are six at present. There have generally been from 10 to 15, some paying only $60 a year. To orphans the institution annually sacrifices about $1,500., 5. the French population of this vicinity needs the benefits of education. Their means are scanty. No children, of whatever denomination, are excluded. During 5 years, upwards of 300 externs have frequented their classes. Were their private exertions supported by a grant of land by congress their usefulness would soon be more extensively experienced. More than 90 French students from Louisiana now receive their education here. The favor which it is confidently expected Congress will confer will contribute to benefit the French population of both Missouri and Louisiana. Bishop Joseph Rosati gave Confirmation to 41 students today; he will start tomorrow for Caskaskias [Kaskaskias] and will transmit this letter., P.S. William Lorgan applied to be received into the novitiate. Examined in Latin; he was found wanting. Sufficient Latin is indispensable. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

Portier has ordered many as text at Spring Hill College. It has been suggested that Timon would be equally desirous of introducing it into his college. Fletcher is to be addressed at Jefferson College, St. James, Louisiana. It is 50 cents. 600 or 700 copies remain of the small edition.` A.L.S.` On the same paper: CVIN IV-3-j Portier, Bishop Michael, Mobile, Alabama, to Father John Timon, Barrens, Missouri 1835 Jun 17. Portier sees with pleasure that Fletcher has finished the translation which Portier asked him to give to the public, knowing the predilection of his brother at St. Louis for L'homond, Portier has no doubt that Timon will view Fletcher's work as useful and important.` A.L.S.

Timon is to pray that both try to husband well the immense grace conferred on Ruff the day of St. Barnabé. Bruté is grateful for Father John B. Tornatore's offering. He is glad of the success of Father Joseph Wiseman's mission to Cape Girardeau. they may yet be destined to work together. Bruté must have a college and Seminary. Could not Wiseman's place be marked in it? What can Bruté know of even projects until he returns from Europe. He will see what seems best as he goes on. He does not foresee his travel to get as many addenda and branchings as Father John Mary Odin, C.M.. He waits for the return of Father Simon Peter Lalumière, now at Fort Wayne, to determine for Ruff. He must trust him to his first essays. Bruté said not a word to Ruff of Timon's letter. Timon is to remember Bruté to Mr. Hase. Also to Father Raho., P.S. The more fuss by the forgers of conspiracies, the better it seems for institutions they hate: At the Sisters of St. Joseph's, 95 boarders: 90 and more at Nazareth: 105 at Mt. St. Mary's. Bishop Samuel Eccleston confirmed a good many boys. Confirmed also at St. Joseph; was delighted at both places. Bruté's school here comes on well for a beginning.

Mr. Nicolet, a member of the French Institute, great mathematician, astronomer, mineralogist, who has spent two years making excursions through the United States and observations with the best instruments ever seen in Europe, arrived here Saturday. He will remain two months in Missouri and will visit the Barrens. Rosati wishes Timon could come and assist at the observations Nicolet makes in St. Louis. Nicolet is willing to render every service to the professor of sciences. To all these qualifications of learning, Nicolet adds that of being a good practical Christian.

Brands has been to see Mr. Rodney who said he had answered both Timon's letters and that Timon will have to refer to the surveyor-general's office at St. Louis for a copy of the survey. Rodney has also given Brands the plat of the survey of the 40 acres at Ducator, Missouri? which tract contains but 33 acres and a fraction as Timon will see in the plat when Brands comes up. He wishes to have his horse down if convenient to send it for he has just come up from Scott County more fatigued than if he had traveled 100 miles, so sorry saddle horses have they here. Brands has been very much troubled since Timon spoke to him last Sunday. He fears he is on a very black list with Timon and their brethren at Louisiana.

English will leave the cow with Mr. Reddick and Timon can send the money by any safe opportunity. the amount is $12. Out of this, Timon is to pay Mr. Powell in Boisbrulé or Timothy Davis as administrator of the estate of Powell, deceased, $3.12 1/2 for the hire of a negro girl belong to the estate for the term of one month.

For more than two and a half months Mr. McEnery has been confined to bed, by an ardent fever at first, but at present, and for more than forty days by a real imaginary illness. In Dupuy's opinion McEnery is a real hypochondriac, if not quite crazy. As a consequence Dupuy's school for children has broken out with much contempt and dissatisfaction; much of his former effort is lost. McEnery has taken entirely too much medicine. Father Charles Rolle, having taken an emetic against Dupuy's warning, died in so violent and sudden cramps that he expired without any last consolation of religion. Again Dupuy is alone in such a country! He is very often sick and if his condition continues he will be obliged to quit this place. Were he assisted by pecuniary means and good fellow laborers, there is prospect for success. The Methodist folly multiplies his efforts to imbue? the country with their false doctrine. On the opportunity of becoming a state government, their meetings are repeated. Could Timon give him any information about Father Odin? At the beginning of the letter, in Timon's hand: Dupuy's letter asking information reached Timon on June 22; he answered on June 25. In this letter DuPuy says McEnery was then confined by sickness for 2 1/2 months. He was taken sick about June 15; he must have begun his school before Timon's letter was even written here. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-j Etienne, C.

The General has proposed measures to consolidate it. Etienne sends Timon the resolution of the council with the request to carry out all its points. Concerning the suppression of St. Mary's College, the General authorizes Timon to delay it a little in order to carry it out entirely in the course of the year. As to the other provisions, they are "de rigeur." Father John Mary Odin, C.M. will tell his plans about the mission which has brought so much honor to the Congregation and rendered such service to religion.

Timon's name was the first of three on the list. A late letter from Rome states there has already been one sitting in reference to this nomination. The next may probably bring confirmation. Schneller has at last succeeded in procuring the electrical machine which he forwarded to the care of J.C. Sprenger, merchant, of New Orleans about 2 weeks ago. If Timon has not received the books, he is to write to Sprenger. Schneller has expended more money than Timon allowed. Disappointed in a promise to procure the machine for $25, he was compelled to apply somewhere else. The machine was made in Boston and sent here through Mr. Francis.

Paillasson thinks none of them will obey Beatrise; however if she comes she is to be persuaded that his satisfaction will be greatest. Sister Agnes, S.L. will govern neither of them. They both speak of going and they both want to stay; they will not change their resolution before exhaustion. They have no will but their own. It is better to let them take their determination; if they are forced to it they will oppose it and probably be supported by some townspeople. Paillasson would be afraid of a scandal.

He referred Power to Doctor Foran, parish priest of Dungarvan and to Doctor O'Brien, vicar general of the diocese of Waterford for testimonials as to his conduct and studies. They spoke well of him during his probationary course in Ireland and did not touch the affair between himself and his Bishop. He remained in this city several months; his conduct was uniformly good.

Still Rattigan is not as a seminarian for this diocese, so the Bishop allows him a certain sum to keep him in clothing. Rattigan would have spoken to the Bishop while he was here, but he felt too delicate. After coming here, he went to St. Louis with the intention of seeking admission to his old home. He dares not show his friendship to the Bishop while here. This morning when they prepared to go he had to take to his room until they were out of sight.

The Prefect is pleased with all and asked Rosati to propose what he wanted done. Rosati replied that as to the priests of the Congregation Vincentians who served parishes, he had given his entire consent but he had protested the suppression of the college, that he was entirely satisfied with Timon's action on this subject as well as that of other priests and that he hoped all could be arranged.

His heart is broken. Borgna is forty and does not know of having committed an excess in drinking. He has contracted the bad habit of smoking and tried to break himself of it; he never thought it a sin. He has never refused to be at home and it is out of his knowledge that he ever received such an order in a positive manner; he wishes he had received it 7 or 8 years ago. If Borgna came to St. Louis, it was through the Bishop's invitation; if he remained, it was because the Bishop took the responsibility. It is true that Borgna often said he could not be happy at the Seminary, seeing how things were going, but not for want of love for the Congregation. Solid piety, alas, it is true he has none; he cannot reproach himself for having neglected his spiritual exercises habitually, but how carelessly! :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. folio CVIN IV-3-j Dossier 1835 Dec 13. CVIN IV-3-j Rosati, Bishop Joseph, St. Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1835 Nov 5 Rosati received yesterday the Superior General's dispatches from Paris, by which he is apprized: 1. of the suppression of St. Mary's College, Barrens, Missouri, 2. of the suppression of St. Mary's Seminary Barrens, Missouri if he does not pay 600 a year for each seminarian;, 3. of the removal of all the priests of the congregation Vincentians from the parishes;, 4. of Timon's appointment to the office of Superior and visitor. Rosati expected such dispositions. He is not disposed to wage war to persons whom he loves and cherishes. He will first make his observations to the superior General on these decrees, communicate them to the Sacred Congregation of Propaganda, and to the Pope himself. He will pray the Holy Father to accept his resignation, and grant him the grace of spending the rest of his life in retirement to prepare for death. Timon has certainly been informed that Rosati asked him as his coadjutor. The letter is continued here from New Orleans.` December 13` He communicated his plan to Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. and to the Superior General. The fear of losing Timon had brought Rosati to this determination. Timon cannot imagine what Rosati's situation is; Rosati cannot describe it. Were it not for the engagements he has made to finish to pay for the Cathedral, he would have left everything and gone to Rome. He sees his diocese which stood among the best provided thrown back in a situation worse than that in which he found it. No means of receiving clergymen here, no means of obtaining them from France. Father John Odin, C.M. has assured Rosati that none will be sent from Lyons but those willing to join the Lazarists. Rosati cannot consent to the suppression of the college; it is against the interest of the Congregation. He cannot consent to the suppression of the seminary; six hundred francs per seminarian is equal to suppression. It cannot be done in justice after so many expenses made for it by the Bishop. He will not consent to the priests of the Congregation, ordained for his diocese, to leave it. He will not oppose the recall of those in the parishes, provided there be a certain number of parishes in the care of the Congregation. But it seems that the services of the Congregation have already been offered to other bishops. Is Timon convinced of the justice of Rosati's cause? It is Timon's duty to speak for it, not at the Barrens, but to write to the Superior. Rosati does not know why entire credit is given to the report of a man unacquainted, unexperienced, and prejudiced, rather than to others. As soon as the navigation is free, he will return to St. Louis. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

Miles must raise $175 by New Years Day. As he is a stranger, he calls on Timon to procure it for him. He will return it in 2 or 3 months; his crop is good for double the amount. The money is to make a payment for his land. Miles was at the Cape yesterday; several strangers were in search of church. If they are not to have church shortly and the money can be raised, Miles will come up at Christmas., P.S. He has about 500 bushels of corn; Timon can have as much as he likes at market price. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

The terms are too high; he is willing to give $100 per annum for board and tuition for Charles Davis.

He lacks obedience and complains all the time. Doutreluingne told him to go next Monday. He apologized then and asked to stay until Timon's reply came. He seems to think he is not guilty enough to be put out of the Congregation; he has done nothing against the rules. Doutreluingne has decided to see Mr. Duclos to have his mulattress whom they have had before but will wait until Timon replies. Father John Brands, C.M. will take the letter as far as Mine a Vallé. Doutreluingne desires very much what Timon has promised him. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 8vo.

Badin is about forming a small French congregation of about 25 families in Portland, Kentucky? where a chapel will probably be erected next summer. Here at Knobs, Indiana is a chapel with 39 families, Irish, French, and German, and at New Albany, 20 more which have attracted Badin's attention since he left Timon. He regrets that he could not visit the Barrens to see Father Donatien Olivier, the Sisters and his old parishioners. Badin thanks Timon for saying 20 or 30 Masses at his intention. The arrival of two more priests may afford Timon assistance in doing Badin this service. His continual traveling often deprives him of celebrating. Badin is gratified to find that he and Timon agree respecting a male school in St. Louis. Badin would probably have been more open with Timon's bishop, had he not been encumbered with a traveling companion. Perhaps he would also have appeared as a meddler. He hopes Timon will succeed; there is not time to lose or sectarians will profit. Timon has relieved Badin's mind by informing him that Badin had sent $20 worth of Catholic books to Mr. Manning. They are dear now, but were much dearer 18? years ago. Badin asks Timon to inform Father Philip Borgna, C.M. that he sent him or the printer, $5 for the Shepherd. Joseph Dwyer promised to have them remitted. When in St. Louis, Badin's finances were rather low, as usual. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.

He went to New Orleans to go to the College at Mobile but being short of money he had to work for three months in a pharmacy. Meditating day and night on his vocation, he met Father John Timon, C.M. one day who put new life in him and advised him to go back to the seminary. Berlié decided to sacrifice everything to go to Mobile. But they could not take him and he is now almost in despair. He asks Rosati to be his father again and admit him to St. Mary's.

He sends a few lines to keep alive the esteem he has always had for Timon. Tucker has not heard from Missouri for near a year; he fears that the first letter will bring sad tidings. Father Louis Tucker never writes, all his collegian friends and relation, and his bishop have forgotten him. There is no carnival in Naples as the Queen is dead. Nor any in Milan or Venice. Last Thursday there was a consistory in which two Cardinals and many bishops were made. The former Bishop of Boston, now Archbishop John Lefebvre Cheverus of Bordeaux received the cardinals hat; the other was the Archbishop Gabriel Della Genga Sermattei of Ferrara, a nephew of Pope Leo XII. They are about to sustain a very great loss in the removal of their Superior, Count Charles Augustus Reisach, Rector of the College who will probably be made Bishop in Germany as the King of Bavaria has already written to Reisach for that purpose. It will be long before Propaganda will have another like him. George A. Hamilton and Tucker enjoy excellent health. There are few strangers this year, among whom are some Americans. Tucker hears that Bishop Joseph Rosati will visit Rome this year. Tucker will be overjoyed to see his benefactor and perhaps to return with him. In speaking with their Cardinal prefect about their missions in America, the prefect mentioned Timon as among the most useful. Tucker asks to be remembered to relations and friends, especially to his father and mother and family, to Sister Agnes Brent, V.H.M.?. Tucker wrote to Sister in December. He also asks to be remembered to Fathers Tornatore and Paquin and all the others. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

Sister Elizabeth, S.C. said she would let him know as soon as she received a reply. Doutreluingne went to Caskaskia; Mr. Beauvais could give him no money due to the misfortune he has had; he is going to send some merchandise to New Orleans after he comes to remain at Old Mine with them. Doutreluingne also went to Cahokia; he saw the Sisters of St. Joseph. He asked them if they could help in building a house for them. They replied that they had written to Roche Jacqueline to ask for help in making a new establishment but had not yet received a reply. Doutreluingne received 40 piastres from Mrs. Christy, daughter of Mrs. Jarret for Masses.

Timon will confer on Dupuy a great favor in giving Bogy all good care for his instruction, in the sciences as well as in religion. Having no occasion for instruction in this poor country, it requires great courage and many expenses to go. Dupuy is sure his exertions in sending them will not be frustrated.

They are very touched that Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. is opposed but they have had to seek above all the good of their institute. They have been consoled to learn that their confreres have learned of their decisions with pleasure, that those who were separated seem so well disposed to return. Timon is to tell them that they will never lack the necessary things. Timon could, from time to time, engage in exercises to increase his zeal. Father Jos. Paquin, C.M. could replace him as superior during his absence. Nozo leaves the wisdom of Timon and his consultors what they deem best to do for the good of the American mission. He is to judge whether they should have a day school, which he would willingly approve. He will also see if an establishment should be made at Cap? Girardeau. Nozo praises the zeal of Father Jean Baptiste Tornatore C.M. for the college but he cannot share his viewpoint. The small advantage to be gained from the college cannot compare with the spiritual hardships it costs the mission. That good confrere desires to remain in America, Nozo leaves him there willingly. Nozo has had a letter from Paquin dated January 13. He told of Timon's trip to New Orleans and Timon's approaching return. He has had one also from Father John Odin, C.M..

Rosati has paid to Father John Boullier, C.M. $25.37 which Timon had advanced, and $48 for one year's interest on the money of the convent. He sends to Timon the powers of Vicar General; all the superiors of the Seminary have had them. those given to Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. will cease by the reception of Timon's powers. Rosati will with pleasure ordain Mr. Simonet if the latter has the exeat of his diocesan because not having made3 his vows Simonet cannot be presented to Rosati. Timon has not said anything about Ste. Genevieve and Breton Mines. If Timon thinks it proper they might send Mr. Donnell Peter Richard Donnelly? to Arkansas; in that case he might come here to be ordained on Ascension Day. He leaves the matter to Timon's decision. Mr. Leduc is very much in favor of the school; they ought to begin it soon. Mr. Sheppard is going to quit his; Mr. Low likewise. The opportunity could not be more favorable., P.S.

Palleli was robbed of all he had; he is embarrassed about paying his passage. Mina has taken it on himself to tell him to pay it out of the money Palleli will bring; Mina thinks this is just. His protégé, Troneler, does not make progress, he believes Timon can send him to him; he is not in a state to make foolish expenditures. In any case he is to come out at the end of October depending on whether he has a vocation to the ecclesiastical state. Otherwise, he must learn a trade and support himself.

But Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. came last Thursday with the religious who are to stay here; he told Doutreluingne to remain at least Pentecost.

He paid Mrs. Ziegler's account and got her receipt for $37.95. August St. Gemme would not give his account, but said he would send to the college, his brother's wife whom he was expecting daily from St. Louis. For the balance of the $100 of the Seminary, Boullier will settle with Timon when Timon comes. Timon is to send Boullier's trunk to Pratte's Landing for forwarding to St. Louis in care of the Walshes. Then Boullier might go from here to St. Louis with Timon and embark directly for New Orleans. Timon might bring all the notes to be collected there and the other commands for that place.

Besides, Timon expected John. Now he writes by a man who is going to make a purchase in John's neighborhood; perhaps Daly's little place might suit him. Timon is thankful for John's safe return; he is informed that John is improved by his travel. Timon thought John would return by New Madrid and give some account of L. Timon sent L. some things, also the 6 months dues. When Mary Timon urged Timon to send a decent outfit, he did so to the amount of $50. She also promised to pay for the first 6 months' board but did not pay a cent. Owen Timon wrote but nothing satisfactory. Timon would imagine that Margaret would by her sewing be able to support herself. He would not advise her to come to St. Louis. As for Timon's meddling in Daly's request about getting a place for Robert, Timon had enough of that before. Timon will send a subscription to the Diary; he has also sent John's to the Pilot. John Gorman is their agent; he wanted Timon to take it but he refused. The New York Weekly Register and Catholic Diary is so irregular and so many complaints. Timon and many in St. Louis are disappointed that John is not stationed here. Timon has done nothing yet about the mortgage. Ames and Mary Timon Ames think he ought as at his death it would be a bone of contention among the children; it will cost perhaps $100. If the money is not forthcoming they will have to get a letter from Belane? to the sheriff? directing him to take a fresh mortgage on the new deed. Timon is out of business at present and has very little left. He is in tolerable health. John is to give his love to the Dalys and Margaret.

Father August Jeanjean is at Grand Coteau saying he will return only after Blanc has left, wishing to be nothing in the administration. Should he be obstinate, Blanc will make the best of it. For good company's sake, Blanc will go by way of England. Should JeanJean consent to stay, Father Constantine Maenhaut will accompany Blanc; if not, he will remain as secretary to grant the dispensations.

Perhaps it may be yet time for remedies. Father J. Bergeron has declared his intention to leave St. Louis and the diocese. Rosati must help Father James Fontbonne in St. Louis. This is the reason for Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M.'s delay; if Timon insists that Doutreluingne come immediately, Rosati will be obliged to leave one of the most extensive parishes of the diocese Cahokia, Illinois without a clergyman and recall the Sisters of St. Joseph who have already begun their establishment. The deed made here according to Father John Boullier, C.M.'s direction was brought by him to the Seminary. There will probably be a clergyman for Arkansas and so they need not any from the Seminary for the place. Any one fit for ordination and a mission will be sent to Galena with Condamine; Rosati will ordain him when he goes to the Barrens. He enclosed the letter for Father Louis Tucker no enclosure. Rosati will be glad to see Timon here. Rosati was informed that Father Joseph V. Wiseman and Father Michael? Guilbride have planned a school for Kaskaskia, Illinois.

Now that Timon has been appointed Superior of the Seminary, and freed from many of his duties in the college, Timon will be able to give Hamilton a full statement of the state of religion in their diocese. A letter from the Bishop received on the 5th says that Father John Mary Odin, C.M. had arrived with a considerable recruitment of missionaries. Yet two years and Hamilton will be able to partake in Timon's labors. Pierce Connelly, converted in St. Louis last fall, arrived in Rome and was received very kindly by Cardinal Fransoni and other Cardinals. Cardinal Thomas Weld sent almost every English Catholic in Rome to visit him. On Palm Sunday he and his wife, Cornelia Peacock Connelly received Confirmation from cardinal Odescalchi. Lord and Lady Shrewsbury were the sponsors. Connelly is to go to England but expects to return in September. He has offered to teach English in Propaganda. they have need of it as their rules command them to speak in Italian. If Hamilton's health does not fail, he will complete his studies in two years. He thinks it indispensable to collect such books as might be useful on the mission; Hamilton gave Mr. Greenwell a power of attorney to collect all monies due and dispose of all lands and to place all in Odin's hands. If the seminary would like to purchase the lands, Hamilton would prefer it. Hamilton wrote Odin last November. He trusts that Odin will transmit the money by October.

Rosati wrote Timon not to send the seminarian who is to be ordained to St. Louis; it will be better to ordain him at the seminary. Rosemond Pratte will pay Timon $51 sent to Rosati by Mrs. Ferdinand Landry through Madame Julia Bazire, R.S.C.J., Superior at St. Michael. Rosati received a letter from Father John Mary Odin from Cape Girardeau. Rosati is glad that Timon has filled that station. With regard to the parishes entrusted to the Vincentians, the Superior has to make choice of the subject and propose his nomination to the Bishop. After the Bishop sends the letters and faculties, the appointed pastor can exercise his functions. The Superior can recall the missioner but must apprise the Bishop and propose the successor. The missioner may leave for a time to make his retreat and the Superior send somebody to take his place during that temporary absence., P.S. If Timon has reasons not to accept the powers of Vicar General, Rosati also has good reasons to continue them. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

It should have been 79 and 96 1/2/100 acres instead of 99 and 96 1/2/100 as described in the receipt. The Receiver's office has therefore charged Timon with twenty acres too much.

He is much obliged for Timon's discharge of his commissions. the hostilities commenced about a year ago by the trustees of St. Michael, Louisiana against the convent Religious of the Sacred Heart or rather against Father Louis Boue? were carried to a scandalous extent about 3 weeks ago by their pulling down the enclosure and destroying plants and trees of their garden. There were about 50 or 60 persons, black and white. The leaders did not appear but their guilt is well known. The persons used as instruments disclaimed any intention to disturb the Ladies but pointed to B. as the sole object of their resentment. fortunately the gentleman was absent. A new election took place but not without bloody noses and black eyes. The well intentioned prevailed but the removal of the present incumbent would be hailed with joy even by his friends. Bishop Anthony Blanc left for France on April 30 in company with Father Constantine Maenhaut. Blanc refused to accept Brassac's resignation so Brassac must wait a little longer.

It may be that Dupuy will have a chance to draw that money on Bishop Joseph Rosati but Timon will give it to John B. Desruisseaux who is going to Timon's college and who will stay there no more than 6 months. A few weeks ago, Dupuy sent Peter Bogy and his cousin Charles Bogy. Lately he directed to Timon John and his brother Ignatius Desruisseaux. Dupuy entreats Timon's kindness as well as that of Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. not to let these young men have any dissatisfaction from the children. Dupuy received a letter from Father Philip Borgna, C.M. which shows that they are misinformed about Dupuy's mission and the place where he lives. A few days ago Dupuy arrived from a ride of 277 miles above the Arkansas River where he had been called to marry a couple of which the bridegroom was an officer of the garrison. It is about 18 miles above the boundary line in Choctaw Nation. He traveled not far from the land belonging to Rosati. Dupuy thinks it would be a proper place for a college. Dupuy's little congregation is increasing slowly. He is sorry to understand by Timon's letter that they doubt a female school could be established. In Dupuy's judgment, only the beginning would be hard. Constant and hard work is his living, some little help from Louisiana excepted. Should he keep a good school, he could get enough to live on., P.S. He recalls with pleasure the name of Mr. Changy; he sends his regards. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

It only strengthened St. Aubin's desire to spend one or two weeks with Timon. His ministry becomes more difficult day by day. Two fathers have decided to entrust Timon with the education of their sons. Mr. Charelits? has asked Mr. Hyppolite Vives to take his son and he will present the two. Timon will judge by the fathers that they are of respectable families. Mrs. Vives was a truly respectable woman. Poor Vigor left behind the barrel of excellent cider which Timon sent. The captain has promised to return it. Vigor is busy with his dwelling; St. Aubin hopes Timon will get a taste of sugar from the first canes he will plant. But Vigor need a companion., P.S. St. Aubin misses the negro Victor talked about. St. Aubin needs a servant; a young negro of 12 to 18 years would suit him. He also needs a negress of about 20 to marry his negro, Isaac.

He said that a box for Father Louis Moni was entrusted to him; Moni has never gotten the box. A little barrel of cider was given him for St. Aubin but St. Aubin never got the cider. In revenge Timon is going to send another even larger barrel for Moni. Timon is well satisfied with Vives. Bishop Rosati was charmed with him.

But the difficulty is to find the means to realize them. It is probable that before long they may be organizing missions in Africa which the Sovereign Pontiff wishes to confide to their Congregation Vincentians. They are awaiting day by day, a definite decision by the Government. They will need then a goodly number of missionaries. So they cannot count on assuming charge of the schools at New Orleans and St. Louis. At the moment they must organize small missions in America with the subjects they have at their disposal. Furthermore they should not at the moment take on the seminary at New Orleans. The letter of Father? Le Go? about Father Bernard Permoli, C.M. is based on the fact that he refuses absolutely to take the orders given him by the Superior General but it does not dispense him from his contract with the Congregation. Timon can appreciate the motives he alleges to obtain the dispensation but a superior general could not grant it for similar motives, unless he lied. As for Father Philip Borgna, the Superior General is of the opinion that it is impossible for him to return to the Congregation without exposing himself to dishonor so he is to be left where he is. The Superior General, as Timon will see in his letter, promises Rosati for this year, to pay $600 apiece for students in theology or philosophy up to $6000. So Timon could count on that sum if he has ten students in these two classes for the diocese of St. Louis. Etienne thinks it is to console Rosati for the suppression of the College.

Montgomery as he has the college on his hands. Rattigan agreed. Purcell, in giving the college to Montgomery on account of lent money, was bound to give him six seminarians as teachers. Rattigan cannot continue paying lo9nger than until he gets Timon's answer whether he is to go back or not.

He is torturing himself with keeping ignorant without violating the truth. He has been to Potosi three times without visiting anyone but Father Louis Tucker? and the recorder's office. Timon's presence would be necessary to prevent the people from following Galena's bad example. Timon received a letter from James Myres of Baltimore, with the account of the Catholic Almanacs; Brands has not ordered any for 1835 and 1836 which Myres probably sent. If Brands had a dozen he could see them; Myres' amount is as enclosed no enclosure. Brands did not know that those for 1834 were yet to be paid and never knew whence the 1835 came. Brands' health is excellent. All the bodily complaint he has is a nerve in his leg caused by the stumbling of the horse when he was in Barrens. But his soul has many complaints and therefore he continually longs for Timon's permission to spend some days at the seminary. When Brands left the Barrens, he gave orders not to derange the papers he left in the room, just arranged to commence working on them without confusion as soon as he returned. He also recommends to Timon a pasteboard box containing his private papers and writings in the press, he forgot to take with him a small memorandum book covered with deerskin in which are some letters left in one of the shelves at the side of the hearth in his room. He has more things to communicate respecting accounts yet to be settled but he thinks to do this by word of mouth when Timon is here or by fixing it himself when at the seminary., P.S.

Since Louis is unable to write a letter or is neglectful, she thinks that he will not inform her of his situation, his wants, his illness. She requested Dupuy to ask Timon to inform her often of the details of the boy's situation. His private expenses must be small as possible for she is not wealthy, and a widow. She has another son to send to the College, if possible, and appeals to Timon's generosity for as low a charge as possible. Many have often asked Dupuy if Timon could not reduce any of the charges. It is the best means to instruct them in their religious duties. For them he dares appeal to Timon's immense charity. Timon will please answer Dupuy and write to Mrs. Desruisseaux about her son. Dupuy is not sick yet, but the weather begins to be so warm in low country that the fever will visit him soon, he supposes., P.S.

He says he never made any promise and that he recalled that Timon was present. These words put Bogi and Vallé in the predicament of either they told a falsehood or the Bishop does not know what he is about. That disgusts Boullier more than ever to go to St. Louis; he thinks the Bishop is not acting frankly enough. Bergeron told Boullier that these men are expecting Dahmen to replace Father Joseph Anthony Lutz and Timon spoke of replacing Father Philip Borgna, C.M.. Boullier fears that Timon has had second thoughts and that he intends to establish himself at the Cathedral which Boullier considers prejudicial to the good of the Congregation. Boullier is tired of running about and would like to collect and edify himself with Fathers Peter J.

Sanford? goes to the seminary Odin asks Timon to talk to him about Ralph? Daugherty; Odin believes it would be good to make a final ruling. Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. will doubtless have told Timon that Mrs. Abel is offering half her land for $20 an arpent. The man who dug the well comes often to claim his 25 piastres; Odin has told him he will not be paid until there is water in the well. Next week he will dig deeper.

James has arranged that affair with Hood and Abbot and encloses no enclosure their note including 10 per cent interest. One of the parties in Higgens' note wishes to know whether John would be willing to extend the credit for a part any longer. It will be due in October. He will give a Mr. Payne as endorser. But it will be time enough on John's arrival to give an answer. John's stay when last here was so short that they had little satisfaction and his friends regret it. James is glad John has negotiated that amount for Owen Timon. If the other cannot contribute an equal share James does not see how they are to manage, for the engine alone will cost at least $2,000. He might perhaps get some in a mortgage on the land. He is not willing to make a sale now because: 1. the market is glutted;, 2. the Great National Railroad Bill has been passed and the railroad will either pass through, or very near it., James gave Owen $100 towards the land that he and Magginness bought. It would be well if Owen were here by August 1, as Nancy Timon? has made a sale of part of her ground, and on Owen's arrival they will strive to do more. On Wednesday there was a public sale of her ground; there was only one lot sold, amounting to nearly $700; one fourth payment was in cash; the rest in 6, 12, and 18 months. He has given her $50.

Mr. Mattingley offered them $4,000. They think they do not want to sell and that their aim is to scare them out. Mr. Leon stopped at the Cape and announced that the Spanish grants were confirmed. Timon would perhaps do well to ask to buy the Old Cape. It is entirely covered by woods and it would be easy to transfer it to the College if they ever build.

An accident happened to Dahmen before he embarked on the Mississippi; he injured a nerve in his leg obliging him to stay four days at Kaskaskia, and finally arrived in St. Louis.

She died July 18. Skeel feels incompetent to take care of his children. He knows of no one with whom he would be willing to entrust his children; his circumstances will not admit of his boarding them out; and his practice keeps him from home at this particular season a greater part of the time. To whom can Skeel apply but to Timon who has led him from darkness to light. Five of the six children may be considered helpless. The oldest boy, who will probably deliver this letter, is old enough to go to a trade or to take care of himself. Charles Skeel the next younger, is old enough to go to a respectable mechanic or farmer who would have some care of him. Little George Skeel has a superior intelligence and Skeel would like him placed in a situation that would afford him corresponding advantages. There are three little girls, aged six, three, and about four weeks. Skeel does not know what to do with them. There are few women with whom he would be willing to place them.

Dahmen has been here a long time; Timon is to have him leave if possible. Father Peter J. Doutreluingne has been here for a week; he will return to Old Mines Monday. He wants to take Dahmen with him to Old Mines to remain a few days with Father John Boullier, C.M.. But Dahmen was at Prairie du Rocher, his leg was so black and swollen, that he was tempted to go right to Ste. Genevieve, knowing that Father J.

Rosati begged Doutreluingne to defer his departure until next Monday in order to set the affairs of this parish in order which no one can do as well as he, being known in the parish. Father Francis Xavier Dahmen, C.M. still has a bad foot; he was cured but now it has returned. He is getting better and drags himself about to do his work. They have been called for the sick in the country and across the river. Father James Fontbonne not speaking English, Rosati unable to go by horse, they do not know how to do so.

He feels highly flattered by the attentions Timon had for him when he lived with Timon in learning the English language. The motive of Boutelou's delay lies in the loss of the barrel of cider and box of Father Louis Moni. Boutelou got on the steamboat at Mr. Davis' landing and passing by Mr. Pratte, Boutelou received his things on board by the yawl with the two boxes, one directed to Moni and the other to Father Jean Audisio. In a few days they arrived at Donaldsonville where Boutelou was to leave the boat. Knowing no one on the boat, he recommended Moni's box to the clerk of the boat who promised he would direct it faithfully. He did not take a receipt as he thought Pratte had taken one. Boutelou put the letters for New Orleans in the steamboat's box. He got another boat to Bayou La Fourche. Audisio has received his box by the same boat. All are thankful for Timon's goodness in replacing the loss; all who have tasted it have found it very good. Hippolyte Vives is in good health; he seems very satisfied with the short stay he made with Timon., P.S. Boutelou asks to be remembered to Fathers Olivier, Tornatori, and Paquin; also to Mr. Daly?

Timon may tell those seminarians whom he cannot keep to find a place elsewhere than in Rosati's diocese, as Rosati cannot give them any. They must not come to St. Louis; it would be useless. Rosati will not go to the Seminary as he intended. He wishes Father John Baptist Nozo, C.M. could see the effects of his decrees. Rosati doubts whether he will be able to withstand so many blows.

He will sell it for $100 down and $100 in one year. There is no cheaper bargain. Block says it is a handsome and rich piece of land, within 20 yards from a big spring. The well at last is finished; it contains 5 or 6 feet of excellent water. Odin has had to borrow $30 to pay the man who dug it. 2,000 bricks were required to wall it up; Mr. Juden charged $12 for them. The hauling of the bricks and rocks cost $12 more; the total cost of the well is $54. Odin begs Timon to send that amount. Mr. Moore brought them some bacon and flour. Brother Daniel? Harrington is very anxious to commence immediately to improve the swamp farm. There ought to be 5 or 6 hands at work there this fall and winter. The cord wood which they would cut in the clearing would pay all the expenses. There might be a valuable crop raised next year and stables, barns, etc. put up. Francis? Simonin is very much pleased with the Cape. His health has been benefited by the little trip.

They seemed to think St. Mary's College Barrens, Missouri would be much more eligibly situated if it was convenient to the river. If a situation here would suit Timon, Davis would give Timon fifty acres of land, commanding a handsome view of the river, for the use of the college. If Timon prefers a less quantity, Davis will pay $25 per acre for all. Timon may take less than that quantity. Davis thinks Mr. Pratte would give liberally; also Messrs.

O'Neill's resolution was made three months before he left St. Louis which he told John Cotter, who told O'Neill that his intention was to join the Vincentians before long. O'Neill would not come to this place, were it not for Father Simon P. Lalumière who wrote to him in St. Louis. O'Neill gave up hopes of an answer from Timon. Encouraged by a man from Maryland who bought a mill and distillery in this town, O'Neill commenced to work for himself. He was sorry when he received Timon's letter of being in this situation. He had to furnish himself with tools and timber. But his time here will not be long. During the four months O'Neill has been here, he has had the opportunity to hear Mass only four times on account of the absence of Bishop Joseph Rosati who arrived lately. O'Neill does not forget the little trials and crosses he had when at the Seminary no more than he forgets the opportunity he had there of sanctifying his soul.

CVIN IV-3-j Etienne, C.M., Father John Baptist, Paris, France, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1836 Sep 8 Timon's letter of June 13 arrived during a trip of the Superior General, Father John Baptist Nozo, C.M.. He has now returned and bids Etienne send Timon his replies., 1. The General approved Timon's sending a confrère to Father John Odin, C.M. to help him at the Cape. But he does not approve establishing a college there. A simple school in good time but not a college., 2. Timon is to send a copy of the act of cession of Bishop Joseph Rosati regarding the church and presbytery at Old Mines, Missouri. The General approves the establishing of a mission there and the appointing of Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. as superior. But he recommends standing firm on not accepting the church at New Madrid, Missouri. That would be an onerous charge and the considerable distance from Old Mines would be a great inconvenience. Timon is to take what they want to give for Doutreluingne's expenditures at Cahokia and leave the rest without dispute., 3. The General authorizes Timon to accept the offer made by the parishioners of Ste. Genevieve if he thinks there is enough to found a mission there., 4. Timon is unnecessarily frightened by Rosati's sending him a license as Vicar General. In their seminaries in France the Superiors are always vicars general., 5. It is the same with the license of pastor which Rosati wishes to give to the Superior of each mission. It is only forbidden to give the other missionaries the title of vicar., 6. The Superior General does not think it would be to the honor of the Congregation to rec4eive Antonio Palleli back into the novitiate. His conduct has been too scandalous and too public. Timon is to give him all the help he can for his salvation. The General also does not think it apropos to receive Timothy? O'Neill again., 7. The difference Timon points out in the genuflections made in entering and leaving rooms, also exists in Europe. Each one is to do either on one knee or two. It is to be done in all rooms except public places like the infirmary, etc., 8. One does not gain the indulgence for the Angelus at noon on Saturday if it is recited standing. One is to say it standing only on Saturday evening and on Sunday., 9. As regards the College, Timon is to hold to what has been decided. It must be closed during vacation. The General would like to make Timon's acquaintance and he would not object to talking with him about the American mission. But Timon must not absent himself at the moment. When he has arranged everything, he can write again and make the trip to Europe. All are well here. The African mission has not begun. The difficulties arising between the Holy See and the government have not yet been solved. This year they are going to take on the direction of the Alby seminary. They are confident it will be a nursery of subjects for them. Their missions in China and the Levant are doing very well. Timon is to give Etienne's regards to Odin and all the confreres., P.S. Doutreluingne's sister is grieved at not hearing from him for a long time. She does not know if he received the things she sent him. Odin had promised a lady in Paris to look up some thought to be living in the United States. Odin's word on this is anxiously awaited. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-j Permoli, Father Bernard, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1836 Sep 8 On September 7, Permoli received Timon's letter of August 5. It has only caused him chagrin for he had not expected an order so severe. Timon said that in sending the reply of the Superior General it is also his duty to withdraw the permission to remain in New Orleans. Timon will recall that Permoli said that if he wished to re-enter the Congregation Vincentians it would not be in this country but in Europe. Why then does Timon further afflict Permoli by recalling him to the Barrens? Permoli would like to be in Timon's company, but here, in New Orleans, at the Cathedral. All efforts with Bishop Anthony Blanc to make Permoli leave would be in vain. To not wish to re-enter the Congregation is not a crime for which they can interdict. If they wish to ask Blanc to deprive Permoli of his faculties, Permoli will assuredly remain at New Orleans. He has means to live; he has foreseen these blows. If they force him to leave here for Europe, Father Louis Moni promises to follow him, and then disorder will reign at New Orleans, for Moni is loved by all and when the motive for his departure is known, there is no knowing what will follow. Permoli does not wish to remain to accumulate money, he already has enough, but solely that he is obliged to work as a priest and that this place suits him because of his paucity of intellectual means. No great talent is required to visit the sick, bury the dead, baptize, copy some sermons and then recite them. If he is forced to leave here, it is good-bye to the ministry. Permoli replies to what Father John Baptist Etienne, C.M. told Timon on behalf of Father Lego, C.M. Superior General. The missionaries from Parish in bringing Permoli what Lego wrote relative to him, replied only to Permoli's d first letter, brought by Father Jean Caretta, C.M., himself, who left New Orleans April 1, 1833, and Permoli received the answer two years later. It contained almost the same things Etienne told Timon, but they did not reply at all to two other letters Permoli wrote in which the motives were not the same. Permoli wrote to Caretta who was then in Rome, and asked him to request of the Penitentiary the dispensation from his vows. Caretta was about to do this when he met Father John Mary Odin, C.M. who told him this was not necessary since the Superior General had said that all subjects of the Congregation, living in america, who did not re-enter three months after notice were expelled. The same thing was told in Paris to Moni. Permoli holds to the letter of Father Jean Baptiste Tornatore, C.M. who told him that the dispensation would be sent to him; that while awaiting it, he belonged no longer to the Congregation, and that his sole superior now was the bishop of New Orleans. Tornatore could not lie about so important a matter. Tornatore wrote at the same time to Blanc which contained the same thing. Permoli is going to the Penitentiary to obtain the dispensation from his vows; Father Philip Ascensio, now vicar of the cathedral, has been dispensed from his solemn vows. Although Permoli does not need the dispensation, he wishes to request it in order to pacify all the priest of the Congregation., P.S. Memorandum for Father John Peter Boullier, C.M.: Father Auguste JeanJean says that the note drawn by Mr. Fauchet for $61.81 has been protested and the one of Mr. Laurent's which Boullier had told JeanJean not to collect at the bank, was not paid when due; it is for $79. :: IV-3-j A.L.S.

Burns' son-in-law has entered into an agreement with a man to build him a store on Burns' premises, which circumstance Burns did not think of when he spoke of selling to Father John Mary Odin, C.M.. Those contractors are at present employed in getting out timber for the house and likely will not relinquish it without a forfeiture. Burns will not sell unless the son-in-law can arrange matters with those men. Owen will know the result by tomorrow. He has a mind to end disputes by becoming pay master to the men when the house is finished. The place is well worth 5,000.

The bishop brought a clergyman with him but only for a few days. Nancy has been very sick this week; she is getting better, but very troublesome. James received a letter from Owen Timon of the 2nd. He said he was then starting, had bought a horse and was intending to see Burns' place and, if he liked it, to bargain for it. If that man at the Cape cannot raise funds what is the use of having him for a partner. Owen told him that there were writings drawn between them, but James would suppose in the event of the situation being changed, they would be null., P.S. James asks John to let Owen know that James is well. If Owen buys, James thinks that would be a good asylum for Margaret to live with him. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Bruté trusts Timon to see with him ex conscientia. A diocese where all is so precarious, without a principal establishment and without such a resource as the seminary at the Barrens has been, if Father Joseph V. Wiseman could be called here by Bruté with enough surety? As good a teacher as he has known him to be, Bruté does not desire him, would not call him. But if that good friend has need to seek a new asylum, Bruté could only place him under strictest restrictions in the seminary where all his good missionaries live in straitened circumstances. Bruté has not yet begun the college or school where he would be very busy; it is one of Bruté's worries. However there would be some study and teaching of English with Bruté's seminarians and, soon, some students. Bruté loves Wiseman and has pity on his situation. In this country, with a spirit of penitence and salvation, all must help each other. Bruté would like to take up with Timon the conversations he had with Rosati, particularly on Timon's establishment. Every half closing? Timon retains will be blessed. Baltimore and Emmitsburg owe their conservation to them amid greater difficulties. :: IV-3-j A.L.S.

This shows Nozo to be quite inconsequent but if it is for the greater glory of God, he will not be hindered by human respect.

Baxley has had a few lines from Father Joseph V. Wiseman. He asks to be remembered to Wiseman, Fathers Paquin, Raho, and others. Baxley is pleased with his sons's progress. If William has not had an overcoat made, Timon is to tell Walker; Baxley left a suit to be made for William in the tailor shop.

He hoped to find Timon and Father John Boullier, C.M., but arrived too late. He met Boullier, who was coming down when he was going up so Doutreluingne could not talk with him. The right of Mr. Grafton of Ste. Genevieve does not fall on the land of the church of the mission of St. Joachim, Old Mines, Missouri but far behind the land of the church and that of Mr. Lamarque, so it will not be necessary to buy it. Doutreluingne also came here to see Bishop Joseph Rosati regarding the land of Stephen Roussin on which stands the church of Richwood, Missouri, because Roussin does not wish to sell to the Congregation Vincentians without the Bishop's permission. Rosati answered that since it was in the district of the Mission it would be better to make the sale in Timon's name. Doutreluingne asked a workman if the Richwood church could be placed on the hill; he replied that it would be very difficult; Doutreluingne thinks it would be more prudent to leave the church where it is. He left St. Joachim Sunday, slept at Paul Hypolite Robert's near the great river, said Mass Monday morning and promised to say it again Friday or Saturday. He leaves in order to get there tomorrow morning, to be in St. Joachim for Sunday. Father John Brands, C.M. is to leave Saturday for Little Canada; he said he would go to Ste. Genevieve afterwards., P.S. The Bishop gave him 25 piastres which a man gave him for St. Mary's Church of the Barrens.

Boullier, C.M. whom Timon asked to write to send Brother McKormack's chest with his tools and linen which Doutreluingne put in the chest with the 19 volumes of Walter Scott which Boullier bought from Father Philip Borgna, C.M.. Boullier says he has bought at St. Louis a quarter and a half quarter section of back land to the west of the church land. He asks Doutreluingne to have these two pieces of land containing 240 acres surveyed by Mr. Amara and to prevent anyone from cutting wood or digging there. Doutreluingne has to await the return of the surveyor general. Mr. Grafton's claim does not fall on their land; Mr. Lamarque has received a copy of the survey of the settlement of Pirot Boyer from F. R. Conway, recorder of land titles in the state of Missouri, and by this survey they are free of difficulty. His claim is to the south of Lamarque who is on the rear of Mr. Moreaux, on the west. Doutreluingne asks Timon if it would suit his judgment if the pews were made according to the plans enclosed in this letter no enclosure. There would be many advantages and also many more places for those who cannot have a pew, for there would be a bench all around the church, the men on one side, the women on the other. Bishop Joseph Rosati has given him a paper to request Stephen Roussin to sell the land on which the church of Richwood, Missouri stands in Timon's name.

Hotchkiss did not intend his leaving here until the day after. Hotchkiss intended to mention that he wished him to study reading, writing, and arithmetic. His son has imbibed all the bad qualities incident to the youth of Kaskaskia; Hotchkiss has paid for about 3 years tuition and has received a very poor acquittance?.

Guilbride wrote to Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. to ascertain the latter's intentions in granting him his exeat. Bishop John Baptist Purcell expressed anxiety that Guilbride had not brought any letter from Timon, as to his general conduct, etc. Guilbride related to Purcell his high mettle, his discontent at the Seminary, the reason Timon assigned for not giving him letters of recommendation: namely, that his rank of deacon and his exeat would be sufficient and that if Timon gave him these letters they might precipitate his ordination for which Timon said he thought Guilbride unworthy. Purcell would have received Guilbride if he could wait until Purcell received from Timon, letters confirmatory of Guilbride's statements. But the season was advanced, Guilbride's means very scanty, and he feared to remain in Cincinnati lest he be hemmed in for the winter. Guilbride therefore departed but his oath obliges him to stop here. His intention was to go to Emmitsburgh and remain there until the Council convenes in Baltimore. Then he could present himself to some bishop and Timon would be on the spot. Guilbride heard at the Seminary that Timon would go to the Council. But as Guilbride must remain here until he gets an answer from the Bishop, guilbride deemed it better to write to Timon requesting a letter expressive of what Timon thinks Guilbride deserves. Timon should be aware that the obligation he laid on Guilbride in his last confession is more than sufficient warranty that he will never proceed to priesthood without being rendered entirely secure by his confessor. His slender means, his delicate situation, his inability to advance, will be sufficient excuses with Timon for his requests. Were he not in Sacred Orders he would not be so solicitous, for then he could turn his learning to some account. He begs him to date the testimony as if given on the day of his departure from the Seminary. He sends respects to Mr. Daly and his family. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.

Rosati thinks Bogy intends to spend a year or two there. So Timon's father cannot present Timon's account to Bogy. Rosati has not yet seen Mr. Pitcher. They passed a very happy Christmas. Rosati officiated at the first Mass. There were about 200 communions, without including those of the college, upwards of eighty, those of the hospital and convent, among them several men and some converts, a physician and a United States Officer. Next day Rosati ordained John Peter Fisher deacon. On St. John's Day Rosati gave the habit to four young ladies at the Convent of the Religious of the Sacred Heart where there are now 10 novices, 7 professed, 50 boarders, 25 orphans and a very large day school. On New Year's Day he ordained Fisher priest. Next day he went to Florissant, to receive the profession of a religious but she was 15 days short of the age required for the profession. But he had the pleasure of visiting the novitiate of the Jesuits and the convent. All this was quite pleasing, as much as the good accounts Timon gave in his last letter, and has done much to revive Rosati's spirits. Everything here is extremely dear: corn, $1 a bushel; butter, 50 cents a pound; coal, 37 cents a bushel. Rosati has to pay $2,000 and has not yet found the money. Mr. Leon is going to New Orleans; Rosati must settle with him. Mr. Willplait has left them; he is in Cincinnati. Rosati has received a letter from Michael Guilbride in Pittsburgh; he is uneasy about his oath. Timon's father told Rosati that Father Timon will do well to keep his corn and vinegar until spring.

He wishes to have for Mrs. Lamarque a French prayer of which there are plenty at New Orleans., 2. Whether the Masses he received from the parishioners of Perry County have been taken care of., 3. Last summer he found among his papers an old account of about $80 received from Bishop Joseph Rosati, 8 or 10 dollars of which were to be given to Mr. Morrison of Kaskaskias. This was in 1833. Brands does not know whether Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. ever received notice of this and supposes that Paquin has never given any credit for this because Morrison left the college suddenly for fear of cholera. It seems that Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. and Antonio Palleli Palleli cannot agree. Brands does not know how they will make out without Pallelli; their scanty revenues hardly allowing the hiring of a servant. Doutreluingne is rather harsh when Palleli makes some proposal about the affairs of the kitchen, etc. Brands does not like to interfere. Next Sunday Brands has appointed a mission at Valle's Mines where he expects to have a smart congregation of Protestants. In two weeks he must go to Big River, Missouri to instruct a whole family. Mrs. McClanahan is preparing herself for her first Communion; Brands will do his best to get her brother Malachias too.

Timon has done well to write to the parents of the boarders; they cannot be surprised at his raising the prices. But Rosati is surprised to read in the paper Timon enclosed that Rosati had slighted and spoken contemptuously of the community of the Sisters of Loretto? The poor creature must have dreamed it. If Timon has any occasion to speak with her, Rosati requests him to tell her she is certainly mistaken. The Sisters of Charity of Emmetsburg teach every kind of person, poor and rich and receive compensation from those able to give it. Besides the young ladies' boarding school of their mother house, St. Joseph, they have at present several other boarding schools in eastern cities, so that this would not be an obstacle for establishing them at the Cape. The only difficulty would be to obtain a sufficient number from St. Joseph. Rosati wants five in St. Louis but cannot yet obtain them. Timon will have received the circular letter for Lent. Rosati desires a list of all the priests residing at the Seminary, marking those who belong to the Vincentians and the novices, a list of seminarians and what orders they have; a list of novices, brothers, etc. and all others who reside in other missions or houses. He would like a similar list from the Monastery and wishes to know the numbers of their boarders and of those of the College. Rosati has been told that Father Philip Borgna has gone to New Orleans and has written someone from there. Rosati will see Timon with pleasure when the latter comes to St. Louis. Then the Sisters of Charity will make their retreat. He has received letters from Hilary M. Tucker and George Alexander Hamilton; they are well and doing also very well. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

He asks Timon to let him know how much interest is due and when and whether any has been paid since the suit was commenced. He waited on the firm of Tabor, Shaw, and Tatum about the base?. The firm is changed to Glasgo etc., Taber having sold out. _____ Shaw is on? to the eastward. His partner Tatum says that on his arrival the affair will be adjusted so that if the base is not found they will pay the amount as the bill of lading is sufficient evidence. The shoes were sent immediately with a letter in care of Mr. Pratt. James spoke to the Walshes about the candles but fears it will be long before they can be sent. Regarding the plans, John will have had his letter long ago. The one Mariavello? was preparing to send would have been a sorry bargain. The Walshes have taken in as a partner Mr. Patterson who is married to one of the Higginses. James wishes John would forget the Ames affair. It will be a very safe business for anyone who has money to spare. Poor Margaret is wrestling with a small female school on the hill in the house of a decent French family. She has two little rooms and has 8 or 10 scholars at $4? per quarter and likely to increase. She has altered for the better, particularly in humility. James has clothed her, provided her with benches, bed, bedding, firewood, and perhaps to the amount of $50. she does some little sewing for Lucy and is as obliging as possible. James caught a cold about two months ago which is not likely to quit him. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-k O'Reilly, Father John V., Friendsville, Pennsylvania, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1837 Jan 22 The Barrens is as dear as the day he parted from it. He wrote two letters, one to Father John Odin,C.M., the other to John Cotter, but has had no answer. All he ever heard was the death of Father Francis Simonin, C.M.? at which he was much affected, knowing what an acquisition he was to the community. O'Reilly's congregation contains about 200 families, all Irish, two churches 8 miles apart. The other is 50 miles distant, contains 32 families, 18 of which are German, most of whom speak English. In the congregation in which he resides, there are not five who are of age who will not fulfill their duty. There are neither lawsuits nor drunkenness here. O'Reilly is to attend the other church only 4 times a year. He cannot help it, having to attend 40 miles of public works. He need never dread sick calls at night; it is a most healthy country. The woods are falling fast. The greater part of the settlers are new and poor, but industrious. Those who have been here 9 or 10 years have made $150 to $250 from butter, to say nothing of wool, beef, and pork. The Yankees are alarmed; they wish to sell their farms as they cannot be bosses. They have not troubled O'Reilly since the first Sunday when he turned them out of doors, letting them know they should not come if they would not conform to the custom of the place. O'Reilly wishes Odin to secure for him two sets of candlesticks and crosses and $20 worth of beads. There is in the community a very pious unmarried man about 40 who would join the Congregation if accepted. O'Reilly asks for prayers especially those of Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. and the Sisters of Loretto. He is within 40 miles of a priest; they visit alternately. His health is excellent., P.S. What happened to Father Peter Richard Donnelly? Will Mr. Hays send a certificate that O'Reilly had declared his intention of becoming a citizen. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.

By the same opportunity Boullier also sends Robert. The other workman who was working by the cord has left also. They are destitute of hands and were Timon able to send one or two, Dorey? and Bill?, it would be of great advantage. Boullier gave Timon's letter to Mr. Miles yesterday. Miles finds Father Joseph V. Wiseman's conduct in that affair very hard; he has several letters of his sister requesting him to collect that money and thinks it much more than $40. Miles will write to Timon about it. Boullier goes tomorrow to New Madrid, Missouri. Timon is not to forget to send by the return of the horses and hands the plat of the town. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Almost all colleges in the United States teach music and it is regarded as useful and even necessary. St. Louis and Emmitsburg do so and yet produce men as great as this College does. They do not intend that all should study music, but only those judged capable. They ask Timon to bring them a good musician who know violin, clarinet, flute., Signed by J. Gustave Landry, J.

He thanks him for the mission of New Madrid, Missouri and hopes that Father John Boullier, C.M. will continue there until Providence will dispose otherwise. He will be pleased to see Fathers Joseph Giustiniani, C.M. andHector Figari, C.M., but he must have at least another who can sing. Perhaps Father Francis Simonin, C.M. or someone like Father Bartholomew Rollando, C.M.? who has never seen St. Louis, can come. They should be here before Palm Sunday. Rosati has just finished the retreat for the Sisters. He also gives instruction to the Sisters at the Hospital and another at the Asylum. But his financial affairs worry him.

They must dedicate a chapel to her in the new church. Rosati will communicate to Mr. Leon the part of Timon's letter which regards him. Yesterday Rosati was called to see Captain Wilkinson at the home of Mr. Darby. Wilkinson was very ill and did not want to die without baptism. Rosati baptized him and this morning he seemed a little better. In a week he will be able to go back. Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. left here yesterday evening. He was going to stay overnight at Vide-Poche and expected to arrive this evening at Old Mines but the roads are bad. Rosati wants to know if the Catholics of Apple Creek, Missouri were included in the number given Father Blaise Raho, C.M.. Father Francis B.

What adds to h is doubt is that in leaving Palleli took two blankets or a double blanket which Father John Boullier, C.M. had left for the use of the house. Doutreluingne does not believe he has taken them to sell them; he asks Timon to look after this matter if he sees Palleli so that they do not lose them.

Nozo is told that Timon is undertaking a new enterprise at Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Nozo urges him not to undertake too much, nor to increase his debts. Nozo knows Timon intends to do all he can to continue St. Mary's College Barrens, Missouri. Nozo notes with sorrow that many confrères and especially Father John Mary Odin, C.M. manifested, at first, sentiments so opposed to those they have today and have compromised Nozo into taking measures which afterwards they forced him to renounce. Moreover, the promise Nozo made to support ten seminarians of the diocese of St. Louis was made only under the supposition that the college would be suppressed. In the contrary case, it will be necessary to make other arrangement which are not too onerous for the mission although the most favor possible for Bishop Joseph Rosati. If Timon still intends to come to France, Nozo gives notice that he may be absent from Paris from Pentecost to August 15. Timon is to tell Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. that, although his last letter contains useful information, Nozo has noted that his excessive zeal for the college has inspired him with sentiments hardly conformable to Christian charity in regard to those confrères who do not share his opinion. :: IV-3-k A.L.S.

But Jamais thinks it will not be so easy to get the $200 that Father John Mary Odin, C.M. lent to Miss Jacob since she arrived at the Ursulines already in ill health and seems about to die. Paquin adds to the cask of wine, three boxes of fresh chestnuts. Timon is to tell Odin that Paquin saw Mr. Duplessis who told him that he was almost certain that the sum from the inheritance of Pierre Galière had been paid and sent from France.

But Nozo is sorry to see that after all the Congregation Vincentians has done for the Diocese of St. Louis, they have received treatment very different from what they should expect. If the circumstances have become more favorable for the continuation of St. Mary's College, all that is necessary is to inform him and give him time to examine them again. A bishop of the diocese to whom the Congregation has devoted itself, and who has belonged to the Congregation himself, has given reports against them. As for the college, Nozo has several times expressed himself as willing to keep it, but on condition: 1. that they are not obliged to teach those who are unwilling;, 2. that the number of students cared for at the expense of the college for the diocese or seminary be fixed in just proportion;, 3. that the seminary and college do not intermingle;, 4. that their confreres employed at the parishes will live at least three together., Nozo has a plan for another diocese in America: Philadelphia. He would like to place part of their foundation there because of fear of a new revolution in France. He would place in charge someone who does not like St. Louis and send others there. He would need calm and judicious men. They would establish a diocesan seminary there. He tells this to Timon in confidence. Timon is to tell him whom he might pick among Timon's confreres.

He looks forward to spending a few weeks with Timon in September. Since his arrival, he has not gone beyond the limits of the township, nor has his fellow laborer who was called twice to perform marriages. Father Ennemond Dupuy had four communicants this Easter and Donnelly had five. On the 12th Donnelly baptized Mr. Taylor, a convert.

It is Rosati's intention to go to Bardstown on his way to St. Louis. He will take with him a copy of the approbation of the Institute of the Sisters of Loretto. Their council closed on April 23 and on April 26 the Archbishop and almost all of the bishops took part in the consecration of the Church of St. John in Fredericktown. Father Francis Regis Loisel went to Canada immediately after the council and will overtake them before they return to St. Louis. Father Peter J. Verhaegen, S.J. has been with Rosati to St. Joseph's Valley, Mount St. Mary's College, and Georgetown and is now in Philadelphia where Rosati intends to go next Wednesday. They will go by canal to Pittsburgh and thence to St. Louis. Sister Francis Xavier Love, S.C. Superior of their Hospital, has obtained four Sisters, one for the asylum and 3 for her house. Rosati could not get four more for Cape Girardeau, but they recorded his request. Rosati was really pleased with St. Joseph's Academy, Emmitsburg, Maryland. They have at last succeeded in making arrangements for a press of their own to print school books and books of religious instruction in Baltimore. It will shortly be in operation. The pastoral letter written by Bishop John England in the name of the Council will soon appear. They have all been charmed with Archbishop Samuel Eccleston.

Borgna has been called to Gasconade County; he intends to visit the iron works of Mr. Massey. The bearer of this letter is William McCabe, son of Mrs. McKabe, a woman of the best information of this part of the country and lately converted to Catholicism. William is preparing for First Communion. Four of his sisters have been and three others will be next Sunday. Borgna sends $10 which he received from Francis Obuchon? paid to him by Mr. Perry.

Nothing is done yet about the land. Everyone thinks it is an extravagant price. James met Chouteau? and asked him if he had property to sell out there. He said he would sell only if he got more than the worth of it, about $1200. James hears from Walsh and a Mr. Doyle of the Cape that Owen Timon is going to reside there.

He will tell Father John Power to forward them to Timon. Bishop Joseph Rosati came here last Sunday week. He has gone to visit Father Francis Cellini, C. M. at St. Michael. Cellini is sick. Their new church St. Mary's, Barrens will be consecrated on October 29 and that of St. Genevieve on the following Sunday. Odin has hurried the workmen and Rosati told him to invite the neighboring bishops. Everything goes well at the College. Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. and Odin have not left the place. Father Francis X. Dahmen, C.M. has been forced to send Father Joseph Mignard, C.M. back to the Seminary. Dahmen will inform Timon of the reasons for this. Odin spoke plainly to Mignard and asked him to refrain from his usual free remarks, but he is doing nothing. He will wait until Timon returns before sending someone to replace Mignard. Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. is growing very unpopular at the Mines. Since Father John Brands, C.M. absence, Doutreluingne has attempted to preach in English and no one understands his long sermons. Odin does not know how things are managed at the Cape, but every marriage is celebrated before the Baptist preachers. Knott J. Wathen and Mary Wheeler have given that scandal. Menty? has been on the point of death for a long time, but is a little on the mend. Brother Daniel Harrington, Father A.H. Gandolfo, C.M. and the black people have all had a spell of sickness.

The Sisters of Loretto at St. Genevieve are doing extremely well. They have about 60 scholars. Mr. Dahmen seems pleased. Here they have about 20 boarders, a few more are expected. Father John Boullier, C.M. has sold 10 acres of the land at the Mines to Mr. Reed for $330. He thought it better than to pay the sum allowed him by the arbitrators. They are making a new saw mill at Dechmendy's. Father Charles Van Quickenberne, S.J., died on August 17 at Portage des Sioux. He had been recalled from his Indian mission. They have not yet heard from Father Francis Simonin, C.M.. Father Ambrose Heim is going to Kahokias and Father John Kenny to New Madrid. Father O'Donnelly Father Peter Richard Donnely? has been here to make his retreat. Father Ennemond Dupuy is leaving the diocese and going to New Orleans. The bishop has promised to send some of their Sisters to Arkansas next Spring. Odin does not have time to speak of their mission here; he is occupied with preparing for the exhibition and the work of the church. The parish records from January now list 151 baptisms of Catholic infants, Protestant 77, 42 marriages, 48 burials, 140 First Communions, 128 Confirmations, 400 families and from 2500 to 3000 souls. The Sisters of St. Genevieve want French spelling books; also the college and convent. Timon is to see the editor of "L'ami de la Religion" to arrange for continuing the paper. Mr. Ring gave the Bishop a copy of "Symbolica"; Timon is to buy him a copy of that work. Alex Laforge of New Madrid would like Timon to call and see his sister who lives in Paris. She wants to come to America. Mr. Horine? will give two acres of land opposite Chester at the ferry for the chapel that Raho is going to have built in the bottom. A few hundred dollars have already been procured. The inhabitants of Little Canada are building their new frame church. Times are hard and it is difficult to obtain any money. Mr. Davenport could not collect anything for the order given in favor of Mr. Pelagaud. It would be well if Timon could settle it from Paris. They have had to borrow $500. Boullier thinks Timon ought to obtain permission to sell their Bois-Brulé tract of land. Antonio Palleli is alone in the kitchen. Brother? Capaldo? went up to the mines; he wants Timon to try to obtain his readmission into the Congregation. The Bishop has $100 in the hands of Father Jean Baptiste Etienne, C.M. that were sent from Rome. He wishes Timon to buy candlesticks for the churches of Apple Creek and other places. The Bishop also wants Timon to ask Father Cholleton whether the Firéres Maristes Brothers of Mary will soon be ready to come. They need some grammars of Letellier. The bishop thinks they ought to collect those excellent works which appear every day. Mr. Daly Daily has all the care of the accounts of college and convent. He says that Timon's father James Timon, taken sick on his return to St. Louis from Kaskaskias, has recovered.

However, out of zeal for the faith if Timon and he persist, he will consent next July. He thinks this delay is necessary also to test Cauchoix's vocation for this special ministry. If Timon will give him his address in America, Cauchoix hopes to join him not later than next August.

CVIN IV-3-k Guillon, Annette, Lyons, France, to Father John Timon, C.M., Paris, France 1837 Oct 28 On the 25th she received a letter from Sister Marie Xavier Miséry in which she said that Timon was in Paris for a month and if Guillon had anything to send to Sister, Timon would take it. Guillon has 2 boxes, but they have already been sent on the 21st, addressed to Father Louis Moni at the Cathedral in New Orleans. Guillon gives Timon the checks to claim these boxes and stop them at Havre. She will enclose a letter to Henri Meinel to whom the boxes were addressed so that Timon can claim them. Guillon will also send Timon a letter for Miséry. Guillon has heard of a woman who wishes to go to the foreign missions. She believes it would be hard for her to make the voyage with Timon as she does not have all the money for her passage. She ought to apply to the Superior of the foreign missions. :: IV-3-k A.L.S.

CVIN IV-3-k Manceau, Dr., Paris, France, to Father John Timon, C.M., Paris, France 1837 Oct 31 Nothing has been decided about the journey to the beautiful and rich country where Timon lives. In any case, outside his special function as a doctor, he guessed what Timon wants, and has tried, in case he goes, to improve his knowledge of the exact analysis of the minerals. He has some information on a chemist who could be suitable for finding out some ideas about mineral analysis. Mr. Guerin de Vary, Quai de St. Michel, already well-known in the intellectual world, has a profound knowledge on this matter. He has a laboratory, and it should be easy for Timon to make an arrangement with him. If Timon goes he could say he came in behalf of Mr. Duhardin, whom he knows. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.

Sticia was born May 5, 1811; received the habit as a coadjutor brother April 25, 1831, and took his vows April 28, 1833. Their procurator gave him 160 florins for his trip to Paris. If the Propagation of the Faith has given money to Timon for the trip and also for this brother he could remit the sum to the procurator in Paris. But if his passage is to be paid by the mission in America it will not be necessary to pay back the sum. Sticia is bringing some chasubles given Durando by a pious person for the missions. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. Italian 3pp. 4to. CVIN IV-3-k Le Gros, John Baptist, Havre, France, to Father John Timon, C.M., Paris, France 1837 Nov 2 He received Timon's letter today and had not replied sooner because he had not seen the captain of the Georgia until today. The boat will leave the 10th, but the price of passage is very high. The Captain does not want to take anything under 750. There is a French boat for New Orleans, but it will leave later. Le Gros would have put on board the boxes at Henry Meinel Mainel's since Timon's passage would be delayed?. In reply to the letter which he asks Timon to write tomorrow he will let Timon know when he should leave Paris. He sends regards to Father Etienne. The handwriting is difficult to read and therefore the translation is uncertain. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.

This morning, when they saw Timon they forgot to tell him about the price of a bible; that they have added several volumes not priced with the intention of letting him know about them and not paying for them; all the foreign books are priced very low, comparatively., P.S. The collection of Latin historians is in press. A single volume has appeared. Written by Lecoffre for Perisse Frères. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.

Nozo gave him advice about their mission which is particularly dear to him. He consents to their keeping St. Mary's College until favorable circumstances present themselves for withdrawing from it. Timon will let them know Nozo's plans about several things. He relies on Timon's and their prudence in the part to take in the transfer of the College to Ste. Genevieve and the day school. He warns them not to undertake too great an expense without being assured of success. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. French 4pp. 8vo. CVIN IV-3-k Harrington, Brother Daniel, Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Father John Odin, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1837 Nov 18 The Irishman has not yet arrived. Harrington will send Luke immediately when he arrives, but wishes Odin would spare him a little longer. Father John Boullier, C..M. has done just as Harrington expected, that is, nothing at all. Boullier took John Hutchins one day to ride around the old Cape. James Hutchins was employed to gather the corn. John moved his family to the old house at the mill and both only helped 3 days to gather corn. Harrington, therefore, had only Luke, Dory? and Harry. The corn is about half gathered, no stable fixed for the horse, a large quantity of turnips in the field. Mr. Gibbony not paid for the cart; Mr. Sutten? and doctor's bill unpaid. He left no money; any information he wished to get he sought of Hutchins and the Negroes. The surveyor has surveyed the old Cape and forty-acre lot. Mrs. Able can sell no wood. She sold only a few cords and sent a note for $10 which is only payable at 15 per cent. Harrington begs Odin not to leave the business of the Cape depending on the good will of Boullier. Harrington met Mr. Doyle who said he received an order on Odin for $9 which has been transferred by Jones, the painter, to James Hutchins. Another order has been given to Mr. ZI?egler? on Odin for money. Harrington thought Odin had paid him off when his work was done at the Barrens. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. Folio CVIN IV-3-k Boullier, C.M., Father John, St. Genevieve, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri 1837 Dec 9 Boullier is sorry to learn by Timon's of the 8th of the superior's sickness. Father Francis Cellini, C.M. is expected every day from St. Louis. Father Francis Xavier Dahmen, C.M. spoke to Mr. Sergeant? who promised to go if it is impossible for Boullier to go to the seminary. The worst thing is that Timon will not come over at Christmas; everyone has made the greatest exertions to complete the church. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.

He has sent the two boxes on the ship Russel, addressed to Bishop Anthony Blanc. The boxes came by stage coach without a customs permit for the small one. Except for that, Timon would have received them on the boat Grace Brown. The charges are $22.50. His wife joins him in recommending themselves and their child to Timon's prayers. :: IV-3-k A.L.S.
