James Timon has remitted the $150 paid to him by Father Jos. Paquin, C.M. and John Timon's draft in favor of the organ maker has been paid. Mr. Bogy is not in St. Louis; he was married to Miss Pelagie Pratt in New York a fortnight ago. Rosati thinks Bogy intends to spend a year or two there. So Timon's father cannot present Timon's account to Bogy. Rosati has not yet seen Mr. Pitcher. They passed a very happy Christmas. Rosati officiated at the first Mass. There were about 200 communions, without including those of the college, upwards of eighty, those of the hospital and convent, among them several men and some converts, a physician and a United States Officer. Next day Rosati ordained John Peter Fisher deacon. On St. John's Day Rosati gave the habit to four young ladies at the Convent of the Religious of the Sacred Heart where there are now 10 novices, 7 professed, 50 boarders, 25 orphans and a very large day school. On New Year's Day he ordained Fisher priest. Next day he went to Florissant, to receive the profession of a religious but she was 15 days short of the age required for the profession. But he had the pleasure of visiting the novitiate of the Jesuits and the convent. All this was quite pleasing, as much as the good accounts Timon gave in his last letter, and has done much to revive Rosati's spirits. Everything here is extremely dear: corn, $1 a bushel; butter, 50 cents a pound; coal, 37 cents a bushel. Rosati has to pay $2,000 and has not yet found the money. Mr. Leon is going to New Orleans; Rosati must settle with him. Mr. Willplait has left them; he is in Cincinnati. Rosati has received a letter from Michael Guilbride in Pittsburgh; he is uneasy about his oath. Timon's father told Rosati that Father Timon will do well to keep his corn and vinegar until spring. Rosati wrote some time ago to Father Timon requesting him if possible to give the retreat to the Sisters of Charity; he is to let Rosati know if it will be in his power when the weather is milder and the navigation free. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
