Identifier: CVIN IV-3-i

Scope and Contents

Rosati has with great pleasure understood, by Timon's last letter, the arrival of Sisters Juliana, S.L. and Lucretia, S.L. and the election of the former for Superior. He will see the Sisters of Loretto in a few weeks. He cannot obtain a regular correspondence with the Seminary. He sent $50 for six months' board of Baptist La Chance or Deguire. Rosati would have been glad to know if he arrived safe and if they received 6 copies of the Rodriguez, two for the monastery and four for the seminary. Timon's observation about Jourdain leaving ecclesiastical dress before he left the house is correct. He should not have been permitted to remain there one minute. Rosati heard by chance of Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. coming back; before he left the boat at St. Mary's he might have written a few lines. Rosati sees he is beginning to be looked on as a stranger but his heart is warm to the seminary. The French clergyman which Rosati had requested Bishop Louis William Dubourg to send for the seminary is coming. Rosati is sorry that the prospectus of the Catholic Press has been misunderstood. The French paper will be sent only to French subscribers but the American will receive it entirely in English. He is sending back the numbers of the Eagle? and the Focus; he has been pleased with them. He supposes that the editors and the contributors do not neglect their duties for the sake of their papers. Rosati has been writing 6 hours this morning besides giving First Communion and Confirmation at the convent. Holy Thursday they had 100 Communions, on easter 200 at the Cathedral. If he had more clergymen., P.S. They daily expect Father August Jeanjeanon his way to Europe. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
