Rosati, Joseph, Bishop of St. Louis, Nazareth, Kentucky, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1833 January 3
Scope and Contents
There are two Sisters of Loretto here who will assist the schools in the diocese. Sister Leocadia, S.L. is an excellent teacher and Mother Agnes Hart, S.L. will make a perfect mistress of novices. For the present they can give no others. Brother Charles will accompany them to Bethlehem and bring back to Loretto the precious remains of their founder, Father Charles Nerinckx. Brother has made the box himself, being an excellent carpenter. Timon knows the reason for Rosati's trip to Kentucky. They have persuaded Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget to resume the administration of his see, from which he had resigned. Rome has been asked to appoint him the new Bishop of Bardstown. Bishop John Baptist David has resigned. Bishop Guy Ignatius Chabrat has been named coadjutor. Rosati will return next week; he will go straight to St. Louis., P.S. He found the copies of Rodriguez in English, which were lost. The Sisters will bring them; Timon is to keep the ones for his convents and give the others to the seminary. :: IV-3-i A.L.S.
