Brands had sent by mail a copy like the enclosed no enclosure but the uncertainty of the mail induced him to send another by private conveyance as far as St. Genevieve. In the letter he stated that he forgot to tell that Walter Brown owes $25 to the new church and that Brands would be very glad if Timon were to send some Masses and also to allow Brands to lend out the few little books, "Friendly Questions" and one Douay Catechism by which he hopes to gain some souls. Brands stated also that he greatly longs to spend a few more days at the Seminary in order to finish what he has begun so that he may not be deprived of the happy moments he enjoyed during his commenced retreat. If Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. has not yet started; Timon is to remind him that Brands has as yet received no holy oil. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
