Scope and Contents

Dahmen sees that the Bishop is writing to Timon. For three days he has been walking again, carefully. Mr. Beauvais of Kaskaskia arrived here yesterday on the horse of Father Joseph Anthony Lutz, who will return here by the stage. Dahmen has been here a long time; Timon is to have him leave if possible. Father Peter J. Doutreluingne has been here for a week; he will return to Old Mines Monday. He wants to take Dahmen with him to Old Mines to remain a few days with Father John Boullier, C.M.. But Dahmen was at Prairie du Rocher, his leg was so black and swollen, that he was tempted to go right to Ste. Genevieve, knowing that Father J. Bergeron had left there, where he could recover, because he would find rest and solace. Not finding himself at ease at Prairie du Rocher, and not wishing to retrace his steps, he was forced to continue his journey. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 5pp. 4to.
