Doutreluingne, C.M., Father J. Peter, Cahokias, Illinois, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1833 December 27
Scope and Contents
Doutreluingne is very displeased to have to inform Timon of Robert's bad disposition. He deserves to be punished in order to learn submission and respect. They say he has never done anything except what he pleased. It was difficult to keep him from leaving last Thursday; he wants to take the coach to Cascaskias next Tuesday. Doutreluingne has engaged a young Frenchman, about 17 or 18, to work and to take care of the church. He will pay him 3 piastres a month in the winter and four in the summer, and buy his clothes. If Timon thinks it right to send Robert back he will receive him willingly since his parents gave Doutreluingne authority to correct him. Timon will recall that he gave Doutreluingne 10 masses when he was at Ste. Genevieve. He has said only two and fears he will not be able to say the others and asks Timon to take them back along with 25 others., P.S. Doutreluingne asked Robert to wait until he receives Timon's reply. He said he would. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
