Scope and Contents

New disappointments have overthrown Rosati's plans. Father Philip Borgna, C.M. has lost the use of his right hand; he was unable to accompany Father Matthew Condamine who leaves today for Galena, Illinois. Borgna is to go to Father Francis Cellini's. Perhaps it may be yet time for remedies. Father J. Bergeron has declared his intention to leave St. Louis and the diocese. Rosati must help Father James Fontbonne in St. Louis. This is the reason for Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M.'s delay; if Timon insists that Doutreluingne come immediately, Rosati will be obliged to leave one of the most extensive parishes of the diocese Cahokia, Illinois without a clergyman and recall the Sisters of St. Joseph who have already begun their establishment. The deed made here according to Father John Boullier, C.M.'s direction was brought by him to the Seminary. There will probably be a clergyman for Arkansas and so they need not any from the Seminary for the place. Any one fit for ordination and a mission will be sent to Galena with Condamine; Rosati will ordain him when he goes to the Barrens. He enclosed the letter for Father Louis Tucker no enclosure. Rosati will be glad to see Timon here. Rosati was informed that Father Joseph V. Wiseman and Father Michael? Guilbride have planned a school for Kaskaskia, Illinois. It grieves Rosati that the first thought of it was communicated to anyone before Rosati's consent was obtained. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
