Cheverus has received only today the letter that Bruté wrote November 19 before landing. He received also the package of letters which Bruté took charge of and Bernard has sent word that he will send the small box. He is very grateful to Bruté. His sister, her daughter, and Madame de Vigerie have written of their delight with Bruté. The news from Rome is very consoling. He hopes that Rome will send the name of the new Bishop of Philadelphia in the spring with the respected confrere of New Orleans. They pray every Sunday for the Holy Father. Cheverus hopes that Bruté will write more about him. Father Francis Matignon has sent by Captain Linzee, of the ship Swiftsure, a small package containing silver cruets to Father Jean Tessier which Father Ciquard gave him in Canada for Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget of Bardstown. Linzee is the brother of the English admiral. On October 9 he received Bruté's letter of August 1 written at his sister's.
