Everybody thought the sale of the pews would amount to 10,000 or 12,000; it has not given 4,000. Rosati has many payments to make and no money. He went with Father Francis Cellini, C.M. by the Mines on his way back to St. Louis to see if he could borrow some there. But Messrs. Casey said they could not give more than the 1000 Rosati had received through Captain White in St. Louis, before his departure. Father John Boullier, C.M. is willing to give $2,000 when he received them from Mr. Roussin. Rosati must borrow at least 4,000. Last year he lost Minthy and had to buy another black woman for $500. He is obliged to sell Elisabeth but it will be to good and respectable Catholic families. Timon is to speak to the superintendent; Timon is to send her by some good opportunity. Rosati wishes to know her age and how much he thinks it might be worth. Rosati received a letter from the Archbishop of Baltimore informing him that the refusal of Father Auguste Jeanjean has been accepted at Rome. He sends his compliments to Father Tornatore, and all the Fathers and Brothers. He has sent the $50 to the Bishop of Vincennes. Rosati has a bad cold. Cellini went back home by the Mines last Wednesday. Father Louis Tucker will be stationed at Potosi; all arrangements are made., P.S. Timon's father, James Timon is well. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
