It seems to Cellini that Timon sends this establishment some of those subjects whom he does not like to have nearby. Miss Penn from Valena is in charge of the house, and no less trouble for Cellini; so it will be with Miss L. Jacques. He thinks the house is already in debt and probably hopes to have many scholars this winter, and maybe never. Such equivocal subjects ought never to be received, much less to be sent to a house so far from the Mississippi, where it is so difficult to send them away when their whim moves them to leave. Cellini was at a loss a few weeks ago when Miss Penn would go away to town immediately. He was obliged not to use his authority but also to threaten her with punishment. His only hope is that he soon will be free. He will write to the Bishop to send Father Louis Tucker, or any other, and Cellini will retire elsewhere. Timon is the Superior of this neighborhood, and may dispose at his pleasure. Cellini exhorts Timon to come to see him before he leaves this place. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. folio
