Brands was expecting Dr. Holson to go to St. Louis but he has been delayed by the illness of Sister Mary Joseph, S.L.; she has had 28 fits, the last four were epileptic. Brands anointed her and she appeared to revive. All the other Sisters and the Community at the seminary and college are well. Brother Harrington, C.M. is leaving this morning and Sister Angelica, S.L. went home last Wednesday. The Sisters of Loretto are all very obedient and respectful. Their house is not yet finished. Brands hopes Timon has not sold Jim for $500; Brands can get $200 more at the city. Mr. Papin sold his negro for $800 because he was a thief. Expecting Timon down soon, Brands will communicate many other things. Timon is to ask the Bishop for the faculty of dispensing in two cases from disparity of cult if necessary. He hopes to baptize the Protestant parties before marrying them. He would need a third but thinking the match too bad, he has been successful in breaking it., P.S. The monastery land has been sold and Mother is the purchaser for $128?. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
