Donnelly, Father Peter Richard, Pine Bluffs, Arkansas, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1837 April 20
Scope and Contents
It has been five months since Donnelly left Timon. After six years in a seminary he considered that he was sufficiently grounded in a spiritual life to stand alone but presumption deceived him. He looks forward to spending a few weeks with Timon in September. Since his arrival, he has not gone beyond the limits of the township, nor has his fellow laborer who was called twice to perform marriages. Father Ennemond Dupuy had four communicants this Easter and Donnelly had five. On the 12th Donnelly baptized Mr. Taylor, a convert. The other things Donnelly has to tell will wait until he sees Timon. Donnelly's health has been fairly good except that a plank struck him on February 3. He hopes Timon will send him 70 or 80 Masses and keep the money until he comes. He sends respects to priests and brothers, Timon's sister and family and the seminarians. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
