The establishment of the Sisters of Loretto at St. Joseph's, Apple Creek, Missouri remaining in the same languishing situation in which it has ever been, the Sisters having no school or means of subsistence, having to depend entirely on the Convent of Bethlehem, Rosati thinks it proper that it should be suspended for some time and the Sisters return to Bethlehem. He is confident that, as the Catholic population will increase there, before long the establishment may be resumed and go on more prosperously. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. folio
