Rosati received Timon's letter yesterday. He regrets that the boat did not stop until he arrived at Mr. Davy's. Rosati did not expect the establishment of St. Michael to last long. It is Rosati's intention to go to Bardstown on his way to St. Louis. He will take with him a copy of the approbation of the Institute of the Sisters of Loretto. Their council closed on April 23 and on April 26 the Archbishop and almost all of the bishops took part in the consecration of the Church of St. John in Fredericktown. Father Francis Regis Loisel went to Canada immediately after the council and will overtake them before they return to St. Louis. Father Peter J. Verhaegen, S.J. has been with Rosati to St. Joseph's Valley, Mount St. Mary's College, and Georgetown and is now in Philadelphia where Rosati intends to go next Wednesday. They will go by canal to Pittsburgh and thence to St. Louis. Sister Francis Xavier Love, S.C. Superior of their Hospital, has obtained four Sisters, one for the asylum and 3 for her house. Rosati could not get four more for Cape Girardeau, but they recorded his request. Rosati was really pleased with St. Joseph's Academy, Emmitsburg, Maryland. They have at last succeeded in making arrangements for a press of their own to print school books and books of religious instruction in Baltimore. It will shortly be in operation. The pastoral letter written by Bishop John England in the name of the Council will soon appear. They have all been charmed with Archbishop Samuel Eccleston. Father Ennemond Dupuy writes to say that he can no longer stay in Arkansas and wishes to leave the diocese. Timon is to tell Father John Mary Odin, C.M. that the relic of St. Philomena has revived the hearts of those who have seen it; Rosati will deposit it in the Seminary church., P.S. Father Patrick Rattigan has been ordained priest in Boston and is now in a congregation of Indians in that diocese. Father J. Bergeron is in Baltimore on his way to Guadeloupe. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
