Tucker, Hilary, Rome, Italy, to The Young Gentlemen of St. Mary's Seminary, Barrens, Missouri, 1833 September 7
Scope and Contents
Tucker was much affected at learning by a letter from Timon that they all still cherish a tender remembrance for him. He would prefer to pass his vacation on the banks of the Mississippi as in times of old. In looking back he cannot refrain from poetical language but he is a declared enemy of poets although Mr. Robira is one. He describes Propaganda College for them, its resident dignitaries, its divisions of students, his view of the city and St. Peter's, the order of their day, their clothing, and his sightseeing trips. Tucker is sorry to hear that the diocese is deprived of the labors of Mr. Rapier; religion will reap the advantage of his talents. He sends his esteem to Fathers Tornatore, Odin, Paquin, Brands, Loisel, the Brothers, others, especially Father Boullier, if they can. He takes each by the hand, Messrs. Roche, Robira, Cotter, Coustin, name indecipherable, Van?, Morison, Charles, Henry, Joseph Elder. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
