Timon's letter of June 13 arrived during a trip of the Superior General, Father John Baptist Nozo, C.M.. He has now returned and bids Etienne send Timon his replies., 1. The General approved Timon's sending a confrère to Father John Odin, C.M. to help him at the Cape. But he does not approve establishing a college there. A simple school in good time but not a college., 2. Timon is to send a copy of the act of cession of Bishop Joseph Rosati regarding the church and presbytery at Old Mines, Missouri. The General approves the establishing of a mission there and the appointing of Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. as superior. But he recommends standing firm on not accepting the church at New Madrid, Missouri. That would be an onerous charge and the considerable distance from Old Mines would be a great inconvenience. Timon is to take what they want to give for Doutreluingne's expenditures at Cahokia and leave the rest without dispute., 3. The General authorizes Timon to accept the offer made by the parishioners of Ste. Genevieve if he thinks there is enough to found a mission there., 4. Timon is unnecessarily frightened by Rosati's sending him a license as Vicar General. In their seminaries in France the Superiors are always vicars general., 5. It is the same with the license of pastor which Rosati wishes to give to the Superior of each mission. It is only forbidden to give the other missionaries the title of vicar., 6. The Superior General does not think it would be to the honor of the Congregation to rec4eive Antonio Palleli back into the novitiate. His conduct has been too scandalous and too public. Timon is to give him all the help he can for his salvation. The General also does not think it apropos to receive Timothy? O'Neill again., 7. The difference Timon points out in the genuflections made in entering and leaving rooms, also exists in Europe. Each one is to do either on one knee or two. It is to be done in all rooms except public places like the infirmary, etc., 8. One does not gain the indulgence for the Angelus at noon on Saturday if it is recited standing. One is to say it standing only on Saturday evening and on Sunday., 9. As regards the College, Timon is to hold to what has been decided. It must be closed during vacation. The General would like to make Timon's acquaintance and he would not object to talking with him about the American mission. But Timon must not absent himself at the moment. When he has arranged everything, he can write again and make the trip to Europe. All are well here. The African mission has not begun. The difficulties arising between the Holy See and the government have not yet been solved. This year they are going to take on the direction of the Alby seminary. They are confident it will be a nursery of subjects for them. Their missions in China and the Levant are doing very well. Timon is to give Etienne's regards to Odin and all the confreres., P.S. Doutreluingne's sister is grieved at not hearing from him for a long time. She does not know if he received the things she sent him. Odin had promised a lady in Paris to look up some thought to be living in the United States. Odin's word on this is anxiously awaited. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
