He is sorry to have pained Timon by his last letter. 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. Rosati will buy the land, a square containing four arpents. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
