Marco belatedly extends New Year's greetings and protests his filial affections. His parish goes along fairly well. Father Francis X. Weninger S.J. has been invited for the end of March to sow and reap the good seed of the Gospel. In spite of bad times there is general contentment. He has been ill some days, but not to interfere with his many duties. Three excommunicated persons have returned to church after public penance. He asks for a copy of the Lenten regulations; Father Francis Van Erp, for some reason, did not give him any rules on the subject. Dr. Blumriels, Mr. Schickel and Mr. Schaeffer present their respects. P.S. He asks Lefevere to give his best regards to Father Edward Dumont, Father Leopold Pawloski and Damitio. :: III-2-i A.L.S. French 4pp. 8vo.
