Flaget tells Chanson that he has received his two letters and Flaget was pleased to see that Providence was taking care of his seminary. Himself a native of Auvergne Flaget will receive him with open arms. He likes all subjects from that Province. The recommendation of Father Guy Ignatius Chabrat, his teacher, is sufficient. But Chanson must realize that Flaget's seminary is very different from anything he has seen. It is not built of stones and bricks but is a log house 20 by 18 feet which serves all purposes. Their clothing is new and they are accustomed to all manner of poverty. The Bishop is just the head of the family and partakes of their misery. Father Jean Tessier can tell him of this matter. Tessier will see that he learns Latin and English, two languages that are absolutely necessary. He should follow the good advice of Fathers Tessier and Ambose Marechal in piety., P.S. Probably before Chanson starts Flaget will write and give him some commissions. Father Chabrat will write by the same courier. Note by Flaget that this is a note for a young man who came from Auvergne for the Missions. In the papers of Father Simon Gabriel Bruté. :: II-3-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo., 3
