Scope and Contents

Paquin arrived yesterday after a long trip. He will leave this week for the coast. Some have already spoken about placing a child in Timon's college but Paquin fears there will not be many. Bishop Anthony Blanc, who arrived two weeks ago, is thinking of establishing a college. Paquin is sending by the Vendelia, in care of Joseph Pratte, a cask of white Mass wine; Paquin had Mr. Bolotte choose it. Last night some felons entered the Cathedral and stole an ostensorium and a ciborium with consecrated hosts and other object valued at $300 to $400. Paquin saw Father Victor Jamey? Jamais who said he would talk to the Ursulines and he thinks they will take the orphan girl Timon told Paquin about. But Jamais thinks it will not be so easy to get the $200 that Father John Mary Odin, C.M. lent to Miss Jacob since she arrived at the Ursulines already in ill health and seems about to die. Paquin adds to the cask of wine, three boxes of fresh chestnuts. Timon is to tell Odin that Paquin saw Mr. Duplessis who told him that he was almost certain that the sum from the inheritance of Pierre Galière had been paid and sent from France. Paquin will see Mr. Seghers who has the power of attorney which Odin brought from France. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
