It has been a year since he received a letter from Timon. Father John Mary Odin, C.M. has not yet returned from Naples where he went immediately after Easter. Odin knows well his old trade and has a just claim to the title of Generalissimo of Beggars. Their rector, Count Charles Augustus? Reisach, said Odin would have some assistance from Vienna and the Duchess of Hainault to which places he had written for Odin. Timon need not expect Bishop John England of Charleston here in a short time. England has been asked by the president of San Domingo to act as mediator between him and the Holy See in pacifying the troubled state of the Church. They have just received two students from Charleston. George Hamilton? was reduced to the last extremity by smallpox but is out of danger. Several other students had the same disease but none died. Italy as regards public affairs is very tranquil. They lately received the visit of the Duchess of Bavaria, widow of Eugene Beauharnais; she was accompanied by her daughters. Tucker is happy to learn that Bishop Joseph Rosati is to be here in a year from this date. Tucker sends respects to the Bishop and to all his old companions at the seminary and to those at Bethlehem and to his father's family. He received Louis' and Charles' letters about 10 days since. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
