Yesterday he received Brute's letter of Feb. 12 and thanks him for the news it contains. It appears that his letter containing one for Father Garnier has not yet been received by Brute before he left for New York. Just as soon as he receives answer from Brute of Father John Dubois he will write again to New York. In case the letter does not arrive before Brute leaves he is to instruct Mr. Bernard Eyquem how to direct it. Here enclosed are 4 letters which Brute's friend Mr. Lucas handed to him. He had not seen nor could read the little note Brute left at Richard's desk at the House of Representatives. But when I mentioned the contents to him he said he would not fail to remember Brute on the seas. Gabriel will join him. P.S. Gabriel will try to go to Emmitsburg. He sends his regards to Bernard Eyquem. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - English - 1p.3
