This letter is to satisfy the request of Mrs. Desruisseaux, mother of Louis Desruisseaux whom Dupuy addressed to Timon's College. she is very anxious about her son; he is very sickly all the time. Since Louis is unable to write a letter or is neglectful, she thinks that he will not inform her of his situation, his wants, his illness. She requested Dupuy to ask Timon to inform her often of the details of the boy's situation. His private expenses must be small as possible for she is not wealthy, and a widow. She has another son to send to the College, if possible, and appeals to Timon's generosity for as low a charge as possible. Many have often asked Dupuy if Timon could not reduce any of the charges. It is the best means to instruct them in their religious duties. For them he dares appeal to Timon's immense charity. Timon will please answer Dupuy and write to Mrs. Desruisseaux about her son. Dupuy is not sick yet, but the weather begins to be so warm in low country that the fever will visit him soon, he supposes., P.S. Timon is to tell Louis that his mother sent him $30 by Mr. Farrelly going to St. Louis. They are enclosed in a letter which will be left probably at St. Genevieve. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
