Scope and Contents

As soon after Loisel arrived as he saw Timon's father James Timon, Loisel complied with Timon's request. There is no sheet lead in town. Dominique Dufour's box never came to Mr. Shaw's store or any other store in town. Loisel will go today to his new parish, Cahokia, Illinois; he is to reside there and attend all the little missions on that side of the river within 20 or 30 miles. He will be back at the seminary toward September 6 to get what he has there. He will take the superb painting of the Assumption that has come here for St. Mary's Church, Barrens, Missouri. Bishop Joseph Rosati, having heard of the return of Bishop Simon Gabriel Bruté, starts Monday to go to see him. It was a false rumor that Father John Mary Irenaeus St. Cyr was to remain at Chicago; he is disposed to come as soon as Bruté allows him. Loisel sends respects to Father Olivier and all the priests, seminarians, collegians and the Sisters of Loretto at Bethelem. Timon's sister Mrs.Mullegan, said she was uneasy about her father as he did not write but he is as well as ever, quite fleshy. Loisel found his relations well except his youngest sister who had a bilious fever. St. Louis is generally quite healthy. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
