Scope and Contents

Father Lewis Le Clerc died on July 24; his funeral was the same day at 6 P.M. His remains were taken to Sacred Heart Convent and buried in a tomb on their property. Father Joseph Anthony Lutz is worn out; the doctor says it is his liver. Borgna has written to Father Francis Cellini, C.M.; Borgna begged him to come to St. Louis as soon as possible. Four days ago he went down to the College. He is not in bed but so feeble he can rarely say Mass. Timon's father James Timon almost had an attack of cholera; he is better. Marguerite Timon? is slightly ill but it is her fault - always a child, always imprudent. Sickness is lessening. Le Clerc also had some cholera symptoms. Madame Octavie is dead; she is a saint?; she will pray for this mission., P.S. Borgna has need of some rest; he will take it at Timon's. :: IV-3-i Printed circular English; A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
