Rosati grants Timon power of dispensing in the case exposed in his last letter, but record of these dispensations ought to be sent to Rosati every six months. Rosati wishes that Charles Rolle be disposed to receive the priesthood and Ambrose Heim and Michael Guilbride, subdeaconship on Holy Saturday. Anyone else who might be promoted is to be sent with them and Father Regis Loisel that they may assist at Holy Week ceremonies. Rosati received a letter from Father Auguste Jeanjean written in Paris. He embarked in New York October 24, landed at Havre November 17, reached Paris November 19, remained there incognito until he received word that his refusal had been accepted. He intends to sail for America after Easter with Father John Odin who, when last heard of, was in Milan in November. Father Etienne gave Jeanjean the circular letter of the Superior General to forward to Rosati; Rosati has sent it to Father Tornatore, Jeanjean says the exercise of the Catholic religion is now quite free and public in Paris. The seminarians who are not satisfied should be made sensible that they are perfectly free to go, that their being received into the Seminary is a particular favor. What is true of Cape Girardeau is true in many other places in the diocese: Rosati receives letters from Catholics who wish they could be visited, etc., but Rosati does not have a man. They are very busy in St. Louis, but pleased at the zeal with which many assist at the exercises. Father John Cotter has over 60 children at his French catechism class, Father Joseph Lutz has also many at the English class. Rosati preaches on instruction and makes public prayer in French at 4 p.m. each day; Father Philip Borgna, C.M. does the same at 7 p.m. in English. Rosati is determined to borrow sufficient money to pay the workmen, in order to undertake, in the fall, his journey to Europe. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
