David thanks Brute for his letters. He used Brute's ideas on the Eucharist for one of his sermons. He has used also his ideas on Unitarianism, on infallibility and the primacy of the Holy See. He continues on September 4, calling attention to the date and saying that he has been busy preparing a pamphlet in his spare time. It is now in the hands of the printer in Louisville. The Catholics of that place bear half of the expense and will take half of the copies which number 1000 and count 90 pages and sells for a quarter of a dollar. What Brute wrote him helped in that piece on the cult of images; and the invocation of saints. He mentions other ideas of Brute that he has used. David has shared Brute's latest letter with Father Guy Ignatius Chabrat, who will answer him. He is going with Father Robert Abell in Tennessee and from there into Alabama where there are a great number of Catholics. Among others a thousand French who desire to see to French priest. The attacks of their bigot minister have produced only conversions to Catholicism expect at the first before they answered the attack. Since they have answered him at St. Rose, Bardstown, lebanon and St. Mary a Presbyterian Dr. Brown Converted on his death bed. Hall waited on him but he refused to see him and asked for the bishop or one of his priests. They sent for Father William Byrne and to the Dominicans. Byrne took care of him 4 or 5 conversions have taken place. Some one has told David that Father Jean Dubois has suppressed the name Mother for the superior General of St. Joseph. David cannot conceive of a reason for that. Other congregations use it and even the word reverned. David thinks that Mother Agnes could do without the title reverend. He understands that Dubois has changed the rules. David will not make the change in name. His sisters number 11 novices and he is expecting three or four more. Their boarding school has taken in some girls who work half time for their education. They sew weave and dye. The two french women are quite satisfied. Chabrat got them a great bell for the clock that Father Charles Nerincks got them three years ago. Sister Rose should be weary awaiting his letter David is going to make a retreat, the first of his episcopate. He is going to Loretta where he will offer his seminary and his sisters to the Blessed Virgin. Flaget awaits him. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - French - 4pp. 4to. 5
