He received on the eve of the New Year the two theses of her son Father Simon Gabriel Bruté and the letter telling about the young man who accompanied him to America. His renown had preceded him especially from Saint Sulpice Seminary. Living with him for seven months has taught him more about his talents. His talents will probably produce great fruits now that they are transplanted. The Archbishop of Baltimore John Carroll has great affection for him and invites him for a day of conversation. Bruté seems very happy and he is pleased to have followed his vocation. This will reconcile her to the separation from him., P.S. He sends his greeting to Madame Mazoi and her daughter Marie. If she writes to him she is to put the letter in that to her son. :: II-3-n A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to., 3
