 Item
Identifier: CMNT II-3-o

Scope and Contents

Cheverus will go to the seminary to see Brute and if he is not there he will leave a little note. He received the day before a letter from Father John Francis Moranville. He has already made some efforts. He hopes to have some money for him from the Grand Almonerie and he will also try to get him admitted to the Asylum of Maria Therese. He will write as soon as he has any positive news. He is undergoing cruel thoughts. He almost found a means of escape but another was more successful. He will give the details to the Archbishop Ambrose Marechal. He hopes they will pardon him and pray for him. There can be for him not greater consolation than to do something for the church in America. He wishes Brute a happy journey. His brother is at Mayenne. His sister whom Brute saw at Laval is in heaven he hopes. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - French - 2pp.4to.
