Grassi is sorry that he did not mention that James Patton is not a Catholic, although his wife and family are good Catholics. He asks that Bruté tell him everything concerning the education given at St. Joseph or have it done by one of the ladies. Mrs. Patton is the mother of 5 other girls who will all probably be sent to St. Joseph. If the daughter Mary is admitted Mrs. Patton intends to come with her. To lose no time she asks if she can come immediately if the terms are acceptable. Nothing would be more agreeable than Bruté's promise to come and see them. The presence of Father A. Pierre Ladavière S.J. late from France and Bruté's old acquaintance is a new motif. He has persuaded him to write a few lines on the next page. He asks prayers for their brethren in Russia whose colleges with one exception are in the hands of vandals., P.S. He sends his respects to Father Jean Dubois and Benjamin Duhamel.` A.L.S.` Father Ladavière adds in French on the next page that since Father Grassi has insisted that he add a few words he wants to call to memory. Although not a particular friend in the past yet since they are to work in the same country it is fitting that they remember each other in their prayers and Masses. :: II-3-n A. Note. S. 3pp. 4to., 3
