Egan received Brute's kind note this evening after returning from the wharf where he had been expecting the arrival of Brute. When he heard of Brute's safe arrival he determined to wait until Thursday to accompany him but he would have to leave Thursday for Baltimore. He need not express his joy at Brute's return. He hopes he will never again be separated from the St. Mary's Mountain. Father Jean Dubois is much in need of his assistance, although he has borne with fortitude the crosses that have been sent him. He has written that all goes well and that the new seminary is nearly under roof. He had been away from the seminary for five months as Sister Betsy had probably told him. He has replaced Brute's books but in disorder since the fire. The sisters are well and ask to be remembered. Sister Josephine Seton is there and would like to see Brute. She will go to Baltimore next week. Mr. Smith is there with Father Hurley also Mr. Curran who is here for the subsciption. Father McGerry is stationed with Father John McElroy at Fredericktown. Egan speaks of the dissipation he has endured since his ordination. But he hopes to enjoy their peaceful solitude with Brute. If Brute is not coming by Wednesday or Thursday he should write Edgan whether he is to wait for him at Philadelphia. There will be a solemn celebration for Louis XVIII this week. Father Roloff expects Brute to stay with him. He sends respects to Sister Betsy, Sister Agnes and the others. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - English - 1p. 4to. 3
