He feels happy to find an opportunity to express his gratitude for all the trouble of striving to assuage the bitterness that filled his life. He has seen Father John Mary Odin, C.M., his old preceptor. Although conscious of the moral sickness he labored under, Courtin answered in the affirmative when Odin asked if he had been a good boy. Odin told him that Timon was to be elected Superior of the Seminary. Had he been elected two years sooner, Courtin would perhaps be yet in the seminary. the consecration of Bishop Anthony Blanc will take place next Sunday. Courtin hopes the sickness of his mother will not prevent him from assisting at the ceremony. He sends respects to Father Brands, also Fathers Olivier, Wiseman, Paquin, etc. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4ro.
