Identifier: CVIN IV-3-k

Scope and Contents

Rosati has delayed answering Timon's letter about the marriage cases because of illness. He is thinking of proposing Timon's case and others to Rome. Rosati would be glad if a church were built at Grand River; but Father John Boullier, C.M. Boullier must be informed so that he will not be offended that Father Louis Tucker goes there. Timon knows that Boullier used to go there. Rosati has just received a letter from Doctor O'Dwyer. Rosati knew him in St. Louis. He is well educated, speaks French well, knows Latin and Greek and has successfully practiced medicine which he studied in Paris. He wishes to go to the seminary to study theology and embrace the ecclesiastical state. He offers to teach Latin, Greek, or mathematics. Rosati told him he would be accepted; he recommends him to Timon. He probably will arrive in two or three months. They have much sickness there; Mrs. Conway, formerly Mrs. Smith, died last week. Her child died without baptism; her husband is much grieved. They have lost 5 of the orphans at the Sisters' in several weeks. :: IV-3-k A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
