Grassi delights to write to Bruté and since a French gentleman from Norfolk will take the letter he will tell Bruté about their institution in New York. The house with adjacent properties is in the possession of the superior of the Trappists Dom Augustin l'Estrange. He is living in it with 4 religious with whom he came from Europe. Since they could not maintain both houses Grassi was afraid the New York house, if abandoned, would fall into Protestant hands. Father Augustin arrived at the right time. Father Benedict Fenwick being released from that care can now concern himself with the proposed publication. Father Ladavière is still in New York hoping for sailing for France. He presumes that Bruté is busy at Easter time. All at Georgetown send their regards. Father Cary is well. He asks to be remembered to Dubois, Duhamel, and the rest. :: II-3-n A.L.S. 2pp. 4to., 5
