Cheverus has received Brute's 2 letters and he appreciated the purity of Brute's zeal. In May he followed the advice of Archbishop Ambrose Marechal and transmitted his letter to the Grand Almoner. Instead of accepting his refusal the King ordered them to appoint him in his name and of the country which demanded his services. He can do no less than throw himself at the feet of his majesty. He does so against his inclination. Brute may blame him but have pity of him and pray for him. P.S. The relic was sent over a year ago. It must have been mislain. He sends his regards to Father John Dubois and to the Sisters. Attached to the translation is a newpaper clipping about Cheverus departure. Note He has written to M. LaMennais at Harem. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - French - 1p. 4to. 2
