Tucker has learned from Timon's father Timon's discharge from the care of the Sisters of Loretto. He is truly grieved for it; he feels that if they are not assisted through their great difficulties they will scarcely be able to prosper. Tucker does not mistrust the good will of Father John Brands, C.M. but he fears that as to the temporal, Brands is not sufficiently versed in the true economy of the world. Tucker hopes God will not abandon a work which until now has done so much good. Father Francis Cellini, C.M. spent about ten days here. He left this place three days before the Feast of All Saints and did not reach St. Michael's until Wednesday after the feast. Cellini said he would return as soon as Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. arrived from his journey, and that he would not go back anymore. If Cellini does, Tucker expects that he will immediately take Cellini's place. The Bishop states that he will not be here until about Christmas. Father August Jeanjean has arrived from Europe and will accompany him home. Mr Horne? visited here, he appears firm in his faith. He came to Mass accompanied by his wife and sister. James Timon's family is well. Madam Mary Smith is very well satisfied with her new home. Tucker sends respects to his brother Charles Tucker, Sister Agnes, and all his fellow students. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
