Last Thursday he received Timon's letter; he thanks him for the good news of Patrick McLoughlin. Not knowing where the Bishop would send him, Saulnier thought to leave Patrick at the seminary. Now placed at Carondelet, if Patrick could be sent back, he would comfort Saulnier in his solitude. At Timon's request Saulnier saw Timon's last lines to his parents. Last Thursday Timon's sister, Mrs. Kenthen McGee, married a Protestant. She could not pay off a half sou because she is among the liquors and debts of her last husband who died last July. Yesterday Saulnier went to Gravois, Missouri; Father Peter Verhaegen was there a little before him. A controversial fight was scheduled but the Methodist minister sent an excuse of sickness. The crowd was disappointed. Once a month Saulnier must say Mass at Gravois. A hermit, and among peasants, he hears little news. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
