Timon will learn with pleasure that the first concern of the new administration of the Vincentians has been solicitude for the American mission. The General has proposed measures to consolidate it. Etienne sends Timon the resolution of the council with the request to carry out all its points. Concerning the suppression of St. Mary's College, the General authorizes Timon to delay it a little in order to carry it out entirely in the course of the year. As to the other provisions, they are "de rigeur." Father John Mary Odin, C.M. will tell his plans about the mission which has brought so much honor to the Congregation and rendered such service to religion. It is the first time Etienne has written to Timon; he hopes it will not be the last., P.S. He is not sending the patent of Visitor. The resolution takes the place of it. :: IV-3-j A.L.S.
