Scope and Contents

Father Louis has just received the Bishop's letter. Mother Provincial Mother Theresa Maxis, I.H.M. and he appreciate the interest the Bishop has in their little establishment. The Mother Superior says that an exception might be made in regard to the board but Father Louis asks the Bishop to inform the lady that the other costs, such as laundry, etc., would have to conform to the prospectus. He indicates other exceptions which can be made. The establishment St. Mary's Academy, Monroe, Michigan is prospering, there are now 40 girls, the boys having been sent back home, and 3 boarders. An unknown disease of the throat has been raging there. It is still quite near by at Toledo Ohio and Erie Bay Settlement, Michigan but at present it is abating. A few weeks ago Father Cappe Anthony Kopp visited him and today Father Peter Warloppe Warlop . Father Louis asks the Bishop, if the sickness continues, to permit them to hold a triduum with a sort of retreat and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. He will let the Bishop know how it goes; at the moment he has a bad sore throat himself. Fear has had its effect and they are hastening to confession. It is wise since usually in three days, the end comes. He has heard that Father Peter Kindekens had returned from his long trip. Next Tuesday, March 10, is the anniversary of the planting of the cross at Monroe. Abbe Moret ought to be there to repair the honor of Savoy which he lost there. :: III-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
