Doutreluingne came here for some things needed for the house. He hoped to find Timon and Father John Boullier, C.M., but arrived too late. He met Boullier, who was coming down when he was going up so Doutreluingne could not talk with him. The right of Mr. Grafton of Ste. Genevieve does not fall on the land of the church of the mission of St. Joachim, Old Mines, Missouri but far behind the land of the church and that of Mr. Lamarque, so it will not be necessary to buy it. Doutreluingne also came here to see Bishop Joseph Rosati regarding the land of Stephen Roussin on which stands the church of Richwood, Missouri, because Roussin does not wish to sell to the Congregation Vincentians without the Bishop's permission. Rosati answered that since it was in the district of the Mission it would be better to make the sale in Timon's name. Doutreluingne asked a workman if the Richwood church could be placed on the hill; he replied that it would be very difficult; Doutreluingne thinks it would be more prudent to leave the church where it is. He left St. Joachim Sunday, slept at Paul Hypolite Robert's near the great river, said Mass Monday morning and promised to say it again Friday or Saturday. He leaves in order to get there tomorrow morning, to be in St. Joachim for Sunday. Father John Brands, C.M. is to leave Saturday for Little Canada; he said he would go to Ste. Genevieve afterwards., P.S. The Bishop gave him 25 piastres which a man gave him for St. Mary's Church of the Barrens. Doutreluingne will give them to Timon when the latter comes to St. Joachim. :: IV-3-j A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
