Nozo saw with consolation the departure of the three young confrères Vincentians from Italy who wish to share the work in America. Nozo is told that Timon is undertaking a new enterprise at Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Nozo urges him not to undertake too much, nor to increase his debts. Nozo knows Timon intends to do all he can to continue St. Mary's College Barrens, Missouri. Nozo notes with sorrow that many confrères and especially Father John Mary Odin, C.M. manifested, at first, sentiments so opposed to those they have today and have compromised Nozo into taking measures which afterwards they forced him to renounce. Moreover, the promise Nozo made to support ten seminarians of the diocese of St. Louis was made only under the supposition that the college would be suppressed. In the contrary case, it will be necessary to make other arrangement which are not too onerous for the mission although the most favor possible for Bishop Joseph Rosati. If Timon still intends to come to France, Nozo gives notice that he may be absent from Paris from Pentecost to August 15. Timon is to tell Father John Baptist Tornatore, C.M. that, although his last letter contains useful information, Nozo has noted that his excessive zeal for the college has inspired him with sentiments hardly conformable to Christian charity in regard to those confrères who do not share his opinion. :: IV-3-k A.L.S.
