The bearer of this letter is John Baptiste Desruisseaux and his brother Ignatius Desruisseaux of Jefferson County. They are fine young men of respectable family. Their late father was John the Baptiste of the loved Desruisseaux family formerly of Kaskaskia; their mother is the sister of Joseph Bogy of St. Genevieve. Dupuy is confident they will give the highest satisfaction by their regular Christian comportment. Not having the gratification of keeping a school for the Arkansas youth, Dupuy at least spares no exertion to exhort them to a foreign education. Their mother will be anxious to learn of them. Dupuy will be thankful for any news of them that Timon may send. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
