Rosati, Bishop Joseph, St. Louis, Missouri, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1832 March 14

 Item
Identifier: CVIN IV-3-i

Scope and Contents

Rosati received Timon's letter of the 4th, and the Directorium Chori. 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.
