Scope and Contents

In his recent letter he wrote as a child who forgets the things of the past in the excitement of the moment. The affair of Mr. Millet has been resolved to Flaget's satisfaction and he has said his mea culpa about his letter to Bishop Louis William DuBourg. As a mark of their good relations Flaget has given Millet permission to make a reredos for the altar in the seminary which has already a fine tabernacle. If Bruté has not told anyone of this affair he asks him not to do so. Tomorrow Flaget goes to St. Thomas for a procession. Father Joseph Rosati has returned from Vincennes with a fever. Father Guy Ignatius Chabrat is at Louisville to finish his chapel. Father Felix D'Andreis was called to attend a poor man who had nothing to eat or a place to sleep. A Protestant neighbor offered D'Andreis shelter which he accepted. They had a long conversation on religion and the man asked D'Andreis to return. The whole family has become religious. Last Sunday D'Andreis preached at one of the parishes of Father Chabrat. In four years he will be the Bridaine of the country. :: II-3-n A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to., 5
