Bishop Joseph Rosati arrived thursday but not in time for James to write. The bishop brought a clergyman with him but only for a few days. Nancy has been very sick this week; she is getting better, but very troublesome. James received a letter from Owen Timon of the 2nd. He said he was then starting, had bought a horse and was intending to see Burns' place and, if he liked it, to bargain for it. If that man at the Cape cannot raise funds what is the use of having him for a partner. Owen told him that there were writings drawn between them, but James would suppose in the event of the situation being changed, they would be null., P.S. James asks John to let Owen know that James is well. If Owen buys, James thinks that would be a good asylum for Margaret to live with him. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
