Cheverus received Brute's letter of March 23 and sends his answer. He thinks that since Providence brought Brute here he should remain with the assurance that his piety, zeal and science will be very useful to the church in America. That is what he would tell Brute's superior, about whose brother he sends his sympathy. Should they decide otherwise, he hopes that Brute will embark from Boston. William Seton is well but seldom gets a chance to come on land. He has heard from Archbishop Ambrose Marechal on April ? 30. He is visiting but Brute can consult him as he should by now have returned to Baltimore. He cannot but desire Brute's staying among them. God can take care of Tonkin. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. 4to. 3
