Scope and Contents

Rosati does not recall whether he has replied to Timon's letter in which he spoke of the establishment of the Sisters of Loretto at Joseph Schnurbusch Snowbush's house. 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
