Dupuy received Timon's letter and thanks him for his information, the subject of which has been very unprosperous for his school. For more than two and a half months Mr. McEnery has been confined to bed, by an ardent fever at first, but at present, and for more than forty days by a real imaginary illness. In Dupuy's opinion McEnery is a real hypochondriac, if not quite crazy. As a consequence Dupuy's school for children has broken out with much contempt and dissatisfaction; much of his former effort is lost. McEnery has taken entirely too much medicine. Father Charles Rolle, having taken an emetic against Dupuy's warning, died in so violent and sudden cramps that he expired without any last consolation of religion. Again Dupuy is alone in such a country! He is very often sick and if his condition continues he will be obliged to quit this place. Were he assisted by pecuniary means and good fellow laborers, there is prospect for success. The Methodist folly multiplies his efforts to imbue? the country with their false doctrine. On the opportunity of becoming a state government, their meetings are repeated. Could Timon give him any information about Father Odin? At the beginning of the letter, in Timon's hand: Dupuy's letter asking information reached Timon on June 22; he answered on June 25. In this letter DuPuy says McEnery was then confined by sickness for 2 1/2 months. He was taken sick about June 15; he must have begun his school before Timon's letter was even written here. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
