Rosati grants permission to the Sisters of Loretto to keep the Blessed Sacrament in their chapel at Apple Creek. 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.
