Verhaegen thanks Timon for his favor of the 29th. He received the volume forwarded and will send the other to Georgetown College. He informed Father McSherry of it. The 5 gentlemen who embarked with Father Peter John De Smet, S.J. from Antwerp are daily expected here. After 100 miles, De Smet took very sick and had to land at Deal, in England. Verhaegen hopes he will inform them that he reembarked at Liverpool for New York. Last Sunday Verhaegen was the only priest able to act in the house; the others were all sick. They are overburdened. Their difficulties cannot be lessened before the return of De Smet and Father John Anthony Elet, S.J.. Penciled drawings on pages 2 and 3 of the paper. On the address side: Barcley, M. Choteau, Alius, J.B. Tornatore. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
