Scope and Contents

All the news about their mission in America has only reaffirmed them in their resolutions and measures which they have taken on the subject. They are very touched that Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. is opposed but they have had to seek above all the good of their institute. They have been consoled to learn that their confreres have learned of their decisions with pleasure, that those who were separated seem so well disposed to return. Timon is to tell them that they will never lack the necessary things. Timon could, from time to time, engage in exercises to increase his zeal. Father Jos. Paquin, C.M. could replace him as superior during his absence. Nozo leaves the wisdom of Timon and his consultors what they deem best to do for the good of the American mission. He is to judge whether they should have a day school, which he would willingly approve. He will also see if an establishment should be made at Cap? Girardeau. Nozo praises the zeal of Father Jean Baptiste Tornatore C.M. for the college but he cannot share his viewpoint. The small advantage to be gained from the college cannot compare with the spiritual hardships it costs the mission. That good confrere desires to remain in America, Nozo leaves him there willingly. Nozo has had a letter from Paquin dated January 13. He told of Timon's trip to New Orleans and Timon's approaching return. He has had one also from Father John Odin, C.M.. Nozo will not neglect anything to secure subjects. Timon has been told several times what is to be done about Father Philip Borgna, C.M.. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
