Flaget has written two letters, one to Father William DuBourg and one to Father Simon Gabriel Bruté in which he had endeavored to call to his mind the promises to get ready and come from that sterile land to the rich land of Kentucky. He writes now to say that the time has arrived and that everyone at the seminary is ready to receive them. He has no doubts that the devil is making objections to impede the departure, but Flaget wishes to recall that after six months in Maryland Clauzel had renewed his promises. He should go to Baltimore and get a robe to guard against the cold and the heat. If Mr. Monyhan persists in his plan to come to Kentucky he should join him. He should ask Mr. Vepres and Mr. Bertrand to expedite his baggage for Pittsburgh and Louisville. He and his companion can take the stage from Baltimore to Pittsburgh. At Pittsburgh they should apply to Mr. Kelly an Irishman who will lodge them and get them passages for Louisville. He should send him warning from Pittsburgh so that he can have some one meet them at Louisville. Father Jean Tessier will give him the costs of the trip. He should embrace his friend from Kentucky, George Elder, whom he prays for every day, and also his friend Roment., P.S. At Louisville he can stay with Ives, a Catholic hotel man. He sends greetings to DuBois, Bruté, Duhamel, etc. If Tessier can get him a line for fishing of 36 or 40 yards he will be obliged. He is not to forget the remedies and the classic books for which he sent a list to Tessier or Maréchal. There is a Miss Connel on Gay North Street who thinks of coming to Kentucky to join his convent and Clauzel is to gather information about that subject when he is in Baltimore. She is essential for his schools. He is to ask Father Ambrose Maréchal to talk to her of his desires. It would be a blow to the devil if he could get the three. :: II-3-n A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to., 3
