Chabrat is at a loss to explain his conduct towards Brute. When he was in Baltimore he could have visited Brute and Father John Dubois but he seemed to have to stay in Baltimore to receive little things expected by the packet from New York. Little because they were only a bell, an organ and two chalices. The rest were bookstand some half worn vestments or pictures. His trunk not having arrived in time from Lyon, they are now at New Orleans. If there is anything in them that would please Brute he will send them. He wishes he could make amends and has suffered in his mind since arriving at Bardstown, but he now feels better. He saw very few of Brute's friends in France and he doesnot remember what they did for the mission except the holy Mr. Carron. The Archbishop of Bordeaux whom he left well was very devoted to him. France is in a dangerous situation. Chabrat goes to Tennessee with Father Robert Abell. The gospel has never been preached in that state except in Nashville. They say the people are well disposed. He will write to Brute in the course of the mission. On his return his station will be in Union County four miles from Morganfield at a place called St. Vincent de Paul where there is a convent of the Sisters of Charity and a large congregation 15 miles from the mouth of Wabash and 60 miles from Vincennes. He sends his regards to Dubois. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - English - 2pp. 4to. 5
