Berlié, Joseph, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1836 May 1
Scope and Contents
In conformity with the order Timon gave him, Berlié writes this letter. He wishes that he could explain how he would like to join Timon at St. Mary's and the regrets he has for having left the seminary. Will he be forever out of that house which he left not knowing what he was doing. He cannot live in the world without help. He asks Timon to call him back. Timon is not to take for ill what Berlié said of him in Mobile. He told Bishop Portier that Timon encouraged him to go on. He feels the necessity of becoming a priest; it is his vocation., P.S. Should Berlié not receive a letter he will go up next September, but hopes to receive the good news before that time. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to
