St. Aubin received Timon's letter through Vigor. It only strengthened St. Aubin's desire to spend one or two weeks with Timon. His ministry becomes more difficult day by day. Two fathers have decided to entrust Timon with the education of their sons. Mr. Charelits? has asked Mr. Hyppolite Vives to take his son and he will present the two. Timon will judge by the fathers that they are of respectable families. Mrs. Vives was a truly respectable woman. Poor Vigor left behind the barrel of excellent cider which Timon sent. The captain has promised to return it. Vigor is busy with his dwelling; St. Aubin hopes Timon will get a taste of sugar from the first canes he will plant. But Vigor need a companion., P.S. St. Aubin misses the negro Victor talked about. St. Aubin needs a servant; a young negro of 12 to 18 years would suit him. He also needs a negress of about 20 to marry his negro, Isaac. If Timon could find them, he could draw on St. Aubin for the price.` A.L.S. French` On the same paper:` _____ ` Timon, C.M., Father John, Barrens, Missouri, to Father H.B. de St. Aubin, la fourche, LouisianaSt. Aubin's letter by Vives was received last night. Timon is glad that Vigor is attending to his affairs so well and is thinking of uniting himself with a person worthy of him. But Vigor has made two mistakes. He said that a box for Father Louis Moni was entrusted to him; Moni has never gotten the box. A little barrel of cider was given him for St. Aubin but St. Aubin never got the cider. In revenge Timon is going to send another even larger barrel for Moni. Timon is well satisfied with Vives. Bishop Rosati was charmed with him. If Timon finds servants such as requested in St. Aubin's letter he will let St. Aubin know. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. A. Draft French 4pp. 4to.
