Mrs. Patton, wife of James Patton, the English consul at Alexandria, wants to send her daughter aged 12 or 13 to the religious house near Bruté's college. She applied to Grassi and he writes to Bruté whom Father Francis Malève informs him now lives at Emmitsburg. He takes the occasion to thank Bruté for the handsome picture he gave him last summer. The hope of writing and sickness delayed the acknowledgement. Father Cary has also suffered attacks of biliousness but is now better. Grassi asks that Bruté visit Georgetown and also Cary at St. Thomas Manor. The proximity to the capital makes it possible to invite Bruté. Father Malève will be glad to see Bruté at Frederick. From there the stage goes every week to Georgetown. :: II-3-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to., 4
