This is the third week that Rosati has been confined to his room with catarrh. He can no longer in conscience leave the convent as it is at present. Since his representations to the superior have been useless he is obliged to use his episcopal authority. He entrusts Timon with the direction of the convent at Bethehlem Sisters of Loretto to hear their confessions. He has written the superior General about it. Timon will inform Father John Brands, C.M. and Father Joseph Wiseman, as well as the Sisters., 2. Brands is to validate Mrs. Dickinson's marriage., 3. Timon is to warn the two seminarians who are to be ordained to the subdiaconate that their title will be "titulu Missionis," that Pius VIII who gave Rosati the faculty of ordaining under this title, has ordered him to have the seminarians take an oath such as the Propaganda students do, that they will work all their lives in the diocese of St. Louis. Rosati has just about arranged a loan of 6000 piastres at 8 per cent., P.S. Timon is to tell Wiseman that he approves of his conduct and that Rosati's is necessary for peace and tranquility. Fathers _____ Chenier and Joseph Paquin, C.M. have sent Rosati nothing. They must send their account and address them to Timon's father James Timon. Rosati cannot be their collector. :: IV-3-j A.L.S.
