Scope and Contents

After receiving Timon's letter of December 12, Reynolds wrote to Father Edward McMahon who occasionally visits Danville, requesting McMahon to give some information relative to the son of Mr. Brown, Timon's late convert. 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. Mrs. Balfour and family are particular friends of Flaget. Could not Timon visit them himself? :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
