Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget persuaded Rosati to accompany him to Bardstown on a very important affair. Father Francis Xavier Dahmen C.M.'s health demands some change and Rosati ordered him to accompany him. Rosati wrote to Father Peter Paul Lefevere to come to St. Louis to take Dahmen's place until their return but he may have gone to Salt river and in that case he asks Timon to go at least twice to Ste. Genevieve. Father Robert A. Abell got into a controversy with a Methodist minister called Pence, the same one who was at Barrens. Abell triumphed but the minister has said he would be back in four weeks to answer. Timon must be there at that time. Flaget is sorely afflicted. He has had news of the death of Father Charles J. Cecil Cissel, a young priest of 28 and of the fatal sickness of Father Linus Coomes. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
