Identifier: CVIN IV-3-i

Scope and Contents

Timon must have received the key of a trunk which, having been left on the levee here by the clerk of the steamboat, has been found since by the police and sent to Timon by the Chester. Blanc now has some money from the estate of Father Benedict Richard, to be distributed among the legatees. Timon may draw on Blanc, for the seminary, for $100 to be said in Masses, as Bishop De Neckere had advised. $100 more will remain due. Timon may draw for $400 for the Sisters of Loretto. Father J.F. Brasseur says that he was indebted to the seminary for $50 which he thought they would have to pay themselves. Last winter Blanc paid Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. $100 for board and tuition. Their $50 appears to be for clothing, etc. The seminary is not in good circumstances but they have never been in arrears. The $50 will be paid by the bishopric. Sickness was decreasing but strangers are flocking in and fall sick in numbers., P.S. Everything regarding Richard's estate has been settled in good faith; the court has taken their cognizance of it. It will be prudent not to speak loud of it. Probably the balance of the legacies to the Sisters will not be paid before August 1834. Blanc has just received a letter from Richard's principal debtor who says she has a letter from Richard allowing her until 1835 to liquidate herself with him. Blanc expects to be able to send the $100 due the Seminary before Spring., P.S. October 18: Blanc has just received Timon's letter of September 29. He is sorry of the ill fate of Timon's draft on Mr. Major. Blanc was prepared to pay it; he does not know who Major is. Father Maenhaut knows no more about him. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
