Mr. Alton could not undertake the building of their church. Mr. Johnson's house will occupy him until September and then he is to put a bridge over Cape Cruz. The Anabaptists, thanks to Mr. Green's instructions, have taken new courage and propose to build a meeting house. Timon is to try to make a contract with Valerio. Their chapel is absolutely too small. Mr. Gouvrier? from Louisiana has decided to settle at the Cape; he leaves today for Ste. Genevieve to buy the lots from Mrs. La Porte. He has subscribed 50 piastres for the church; Mr. Mattingly, 25; Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. has promised 100; and the 112 from Cardinal Thomas Weld; with the old subscriptions they will have about 800. If the building is once begun they will have more courage to ask. Ralph Daugherty came one night and seemed very distressed that Odin had not produced the note of what was due him. Timon is to try to satisfy him. Mrs. Daugherty would be glad to have the balance of the order for 70 piastres. Mr. Flinn has calculated his work; he needs 5 piastres; Odin thinks he should advance him that small sum. There is a man there who would willingly undertake to make the bricks but he does not lay them. Timon is to try to get him as soon as possible. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
