These lines will be handed to Timon by Father Raho. Rattigan is living in the Bishop's house and acting as sacristan and other employments; he scarcely has time to study his divinity lessons. Father Matthew Loras is his professor. Still Rattigan is not as a seminarian for this diocese, so the Bishop allows him a certain sum to keep him in clothing. Rattigan would have spoken to the Bishop while he was here, but he felt too delicate. After coming here, he went to St. Louis with the intention of seeking admission to his old home. He dares not show his friendship to the Bishop while here. This morning when they prepared to go he had to take to his room until they were out of sight. He asks Timon to intercede for his admittance back to the Barrens. He sends his love to Mr. and Mrs. Daly? Dayley, Mrs. Mulligan, Mrs. Headen Sarah Hayden? and family, to all at the seminary, and to Father Odin. Also Brother McCormick and Brother Daniel? Harrington, Mr. O'Reiley. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
