Flaget, Benedict Joseph, Bishop of Bards Town, Kentucky, to Father Simon Gabriel Bruté, Mt. St. Mary's, Emmitsburg, Maryland, 1813 January 22
Scope and Contents
Flaget dined yesterday at the home of Mr. Chatard and Bruté is well loved in that house. Madame Bredy Bagh has come to see Flaget twice about her boy who is in Brute's seminary and more on the subject of the girl whom she would place in a convent. Her brother-in-law, a Protestant, pays the bill but she is afraid there is no place in a monastery for the girl. He wants her to go to live with the nuns lest she lose the faith since all except her... mother, a convert, are opposed to the Faith. M. De Chazourne is on the sea from Paris for the United States. The Trappist Father newly arrived tells Flaget that there is a young ecclesiastic whose name he does not know setting out at Bordeaux as a sailor. Flaget does not have the details but this seems to be Chazourne. Father Francis Nagot is better. He is in search of Father Stephen Theodore Badin. God knows when he will return to Kentucky. :: II-3-n A.L.S. French 4pp. 16mo., 3
