Scope and Contents

Mr. McEnery from Timon's Seminary landed at Dupuy's house on May 13. Dupuy rejoiced at the announcing of the departure of Father Charles Rolle for Arkansas. McEnery requested Dupuy to receive him as a school-master and favor him with the confidence of the people. On Dupuy's consideration and on the clause that three of his children be taught, Dupuy's neighbor gave McEnery a tolerably comfortable house for the school and his lodging and table. This year he will probably have 15 scholars at $20 the year. If he is a man of good character and temper, he will have at least 25 and more scholars next year. Dupuy requests information on McEnery's religious conduct, patience and constancy. On questioning, McEnery never answered favorably to Timon's house which Dupuy knows better than he does. Dupuy cannot stand the extremes of weather; his health is considerably weakened. He sends respects to Fathers Tornatore, Paquin, Loisel, Wiseman, Brands, Olivier. He also asks the prayers of the Sisters. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to
