Berlié was at St. Mary's at Barrens for six months. He left October 6, 1833 not with the intention of abandoning the ecclesiastical state but of changing places. He went to New Orleans to go to the College at Mobile but being short of money he had to work for three months in a pharmacy. Meditating day and night on his vocation, he met Father John Timon, C.M. one day who put new life in him and advised him to go back to the seminary. Berlié decided to sacrifice everything to go to Mobile. But they could not take him and he is now almost in despair. He asks Rosati to be his father again and admit him to St. Mary's. He has a letter from Bishop Portier. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
