When last at the Seminary Brands forgot to mention three things: 1. He wishes to have for Mrs. Lamarque a French prayer of which there are plenty at New Orleans., 2. Whether the Masses he received from the parishioners of Perry County have been taken care of., 3. Last summer he found among his papers an old account of about $80 received from Bishop Joseph Rosati, 8 or 10 dollars of which were to be given to Mr. Morrison of Kaskaskias. This was in 1833. Brands does not know whether Father Joseph Paquin, C.M. ever received notice of this and supposes that Paquin has never given any credit for this because Morrison left the college suddenly for fear of cholera. It seems that Father Peter J. Doutreluingne, C.M. and Antonio Palleli Palleli cannot agree. Brands does not know how they will make out without Pallelli; their scanty revenues hardly allowing the hiring of a servant. Doutreluingne is rather harsh when Palleli makes some proposal about the affairs of the kitchen, etc. Brands does not like to interfere. Next Sunday Brands has appointed a mission at Valle's Mines where he expects to have a smart congregation of Protestants. In two weeks he must go to Big River, Missouri to instruct a whole family. Mrs. McClanahan is preparing herself for her first Communion; Brands will do his best to get her brother Malachias too. Timon is to tell Mother Agnes Hart, S.L.? not to rely on the girl of whom Brands spoke; her father is unwilling to send her and for reasons Brands approves. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
