He should have written to Bruté and thought he had until he received Bruté's letter of March 12. He received the two boxes committed to Bruté for him, one of the books and one from his niece. He has one letter from France from Madame de la Vigerie who asks to be remembered to Bruté. To a French vessel from Boston and Captain Banquey Cheverus entrusted several letters. He sends to Bruté brochures on silk manufactures and those of their opponents. Last Sunday Horace Holley, a Boston minister announced that the doctrine of the Trinity would soon be abandoned. The layman Mr. John Lowell has also gone beyond measure even though he is a brighter minister and is a lawyer and a member of the university at Cambridge. Edward Kavanagh has not returned although his father has heard from him. His foot has not improved enough to give him the subdeaconship. Bishop John Connolly of New York has spoken of the articles published by Father Charles Blowden. He hopes they have renounced the project. The Bishop of Quebec receives a thousand pounds sterling a year. It seems Father Francis Nagot is with God and would not have to witness this. Cheverus asks Bruté to give Nagot his regards and also to Archbishop Leonard Neale. He thinks often of Mother Seton and her martyr child and owes her a letter. He sends his regards to Father Jean Dubois and thanks him for the news from Bishop William DuBourg. Father John Thayer, who died in Limerick last year made Father Francis Matignon his universal legatee prescribing that he spend the whole fund to establish the Ursulines in Boston. As the fund is insufficient Matignon has decided not to do anything for some time. They are too poor to have a school. Matignon asks for Bruté's prayers. Mr. Brosius is always in the neighborhood but his health does not allow him to work in the ministry., P.S. Having failed to make the first occasion he sends this letter by mail. :: II-3-n A.L.S.
