Father John Mar4y Irenaeus St. Cyr tells Bruté that Bishop Joseph Rosati has gone to the Barrens. Bruté trusts Timon to see with him ex conscientia. A diocese where all is so precarious, without a principal establishment and without such a resource as the seminary at the Barrens has been, if Father Joseph V. Wiseman could be called here by Bruté with enough surety? As good a teacher as he has known him to be, Bruté does not desire him, would not call him. But if that good friend has need to seek a new asylum, Bruté could only place him under strictest restrictions in the seminary where all his good missionaries live in straitened circumstances. Bruté has not yet begun the college or school where he would be very busy; it is one of Bruté's worries. However there would be some study and teaching of English with Bruté's seminarians and, soon, some students. Bruté loves Wiseman and has pity on his situation. In this country, with a spirit of penitence and salvation, all must help each other. Bruté would like to take up with Timon the conversations he had with Rosati, particularly on Timon's establishment. Every half closing? Timon retains will be blessed. Baltimore and Emmitsburg owe their conservation to them amid greater difficulties. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 2pp. folio
