Scope and Contents

Timon will receive $300 by Father John Brands, C.M.. Boullier sold Father Louis Moni's note to Father John Mary Odin, C.M.. $34 more is to come from Father J. Bergeron who got the note but pretended that Timon promised to buy his white wine for which he asks $29, an extravagant price. The 4 barrels Timon got were not more than $17 apiece delivered at Denis;s. Bergeron has been using the wine and other things of Father Francis Xavier Dahmen, C.M.. He claims a full salary besides all his expenses paid. Boullier does not know what to think of Bishop Joseph Rosati;' Boullier has seen his letter to Mr. Bogy Bogi and Ferdinand Vallé Wallé. He says he never made any promise and that he recalled that Timon was present. These words put Bogi and Vallé in the predicament of either they told a falsehood or the Bishop does not know what he is about. That disgusts Boullier more than ever to go to St. Louis; he thinks the Bishop is not acting frankly enough. Bergeron told Boullier that these men are expecting Dahmen to replace Father Joseph Anthony Lutz and Timon spoke of replacing Father Philip Borgna, C.M.. Boullier fears that Timon has had second thoughts and that he intends to establish himself at the Cathedral which Boullier considers prejudicial to the good of the Congregation. Boullier is tired of running about and would like to collect and edify himself with Fathers Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. and John Brands, C.M. here and he believes his presence is necessary to begin the missions. So Timon is to excuse him and not send him to St. Louis. He has more to say but Brands is leaving. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
