Cheverus has received Bruté, s letter of the 11th. Young Gallet has not added a word and since he has no rights over him he cannot decide anything. He has consulted Father Francis Matignon and Mrs. Perkins who are the correspondents of the family. They think it best to send him to Martinique. Perkins has written to William Lorman of Baltimore to obtain passage. The whole affair is left to Bruté's discretion. At midday the previous Sunday he received a letter from Father Grassi announcing the death of Archbishop Leonard Neale. He told the people, telling them also that when Aaron died on the mountain Eleazar came down to replace him. Cheverus asks Bruté to convey his respects and obedience to Eleazar. After vespers he chanted the DeProfundis and yesterday he offered Mass for the deceased. Father Matignon left yesterday for Canada with two young Irish girls who will enter the novitiate of the Ursulines at Trois Rivières under Abbé Calonne. They will return to Boston and try to form an establishment. While they were in Boston they seemed to be ladies of merit. They are sisters, Mary and Catherine Ryan from Limerick. They are recommended by Father John Thayer. Of the three Archbishops Cheverus say the first, John Carroll, expressed the beauty and dignity of the church, the second, Neale, the perfection of conduct and the third will enforce the discipline of the church. St. Sulpice has in him the perfect model. :: II-3-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
