Flaget has received Bruté's latest letter and tribute for which he is very grateful. He wants to know the source of the oval reliquary, the portrait of Our Lord and Our Lady embossed in silver and a little ivory statue of the Blessed Virgin so that he can send a testimony of his gratitude. He is grateful to God for the bit of the cross he gives him every day to keep his apostolic way. The little success he had in Baltimore for his cathedral is disappointing. He asks that Bruté recommend his work to Mr. Sinnot and his brother-in-law Walsh. The Bishop of Quebec writes that he is himself building a church. Father Gabriel Richard at Detroit also is building one. The gentlemen of Upper Louisiana who had made some fine promises are collecting funds for their bishop. So his resources outside are reduced to zero. Millet though more content is not as satisfied as Flaget wishes. He asks that Bruté pass on the enclosed letter., P.S. If George Elder is at the seminary Bruté is to tell him that his family is well. He is to embrace him and give him all the attention in Bruté's power. :: II-3-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to., 2
