Scope and Contents

Cheverus has received with gratitude the details of the mission to New Orleans and Bruté's note about it. The letter will be given to Bruté by Mr. Gavin who takes two sons of one of his friends. Cheverus says that if he left them there to learn English they would lose their faith. Bruté will be their guardian angel. He sends the respects of Father Francis Matignon. He unites with him to salute Bruté's faculty. Cheverus intends in two months and a half to make a mission in Newcastle and surroundings in Maine. He wishes he had someone to leave with Father Matignon besides his Irish minor. He wishes he could leave some one else during his absence., P.S. He asks that the enclosure be passed on to Mother Corbettez after Bruté has read it. :: II-3-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to., 2
