The heavy rains have obliged Brands to disobey Timon's orders. Yesterday when he crossed the /Auxvasse? Auvaes with difficulty, desiring to say Mass, he would have crossed the Sabine and come to the Seminary but it was not yet foradable. So he has spent two days at Judge J.S. James's. He intends to go to Old Mines tomorrow. He could have started today and forded the big river at Yankeetown but is too short of money. Brands was in hopes that Timon called him to the Seminary in order to send him to some other place, because the longer he stays at the mines the least he can feel contented there for several reasons. Brands will do nothing against obedience. He will stay or leave only through obedience. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
