Rosati was surprised at Father Michael Guilbride's arrival; he had given him his exeat. Rosati does not wish to keep those who do not wish to remain. Rosati does not know how he found out that the Superior-General had sent the orders which Timon received. The Prefect is pleased with all and asked Rosati to propose what he wanted done. Rosati replied that as to the priests of the Congregation Vincentians who served parishes, he had given his entire consent but he had protested the suppression of the college, that he was entirely satisfied with Timon's action on this subject as well as that of other priests and that he hoped all could be arranged. A priest has arrived from Strasbourg who speaks German and French; he is going to Cincinnati. The Sisters of Charity will make their retreat after Christmas. They would be pleased if Timon could give it. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
