Cellini is pleased with the family Timon sent him to attend his farm but the contract is, he thinks, entirely too hard for them; under such conditions he does not think they could make a living. He is charmed to know that the Sisters of Loretto are learning a fine musical Mass, and are ready to come as soon as the priest house is ready which he hopes will be in less than a month. He does not know whether he can come to the Seminary before the vacations but hopes Timon will come before and take him down. Then they can fix the day for the nuns' coming. The Irish seminarian affected with the scrofula sent to Cellini for some ointment but he should remember that Cellini only gave him directions to make it, which he gives here. Cellini sends thanks to Father Tornatore. His hand has been burned with lime; he can scarcely hold his pen. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
