Enclosed Brute will find a letter for Father Garnier in Paris and another for Bishop Edward Dominic Fenwick which Brute will give or send when and where opportunity occurs. By this mail he has sent to Father Jean Dubois a public document in relation to the sale of public document in relation to the sale of public lands in the Territory of Michigan on the first Monday of June and on the first Monday of July next. Should Dubois be disposed to buy and pay for land a much as it may be necessary to repay the $200 if he will give them to his account. As the time is short he asks that the answer come soon enough that he can write to Brute again before he leaves Emmitsburg or at least before he leaves New York. He asks Brute to tell him when he is leaving for New York and from New York. P.S. Brute is to add to the memorandum a small ritual in Latin with the rubrics in the French language for Father Stephen Theodore Badin who lost one of that kind and he says he will be uneasy until he gets another one. Give my compliments to Father Hickey. The letter directed to Bishop Fenwick will be delivered by Father Dubois. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - English - 2pp. 4to. 3
