DuBourg felicitates Brute on his happy return. He had been aware of the almost miraculous restoration of the college which must have pleased Brute. May God preserve his good confrere Jean Dubois for his achievement of an edifice so precious. Brute has been in France where again many things prosper. However there is always in France a gnawing worm. They must be on their guard. Some people are still afraid in France but he does not share their views. The government appears solid, the finance prosperous. But they say that there are still in France people who plan evil things. But there are also an infinity of moses who intercede between heaven and the people. The entire court is peopled with virtuous people not only to repair France but to aid the missions abroad. Things are thus before the Revolution; Dubourg admits his glory in France which he can express to Brute with understanding. De Deplores the roos of a Lamennais and Cardinal Clermonterre, but this danger is compressed by the King's character. Brute spoke to him of his friends in France and he appreciates their friendship. He is expecting Father Anthony Blanc, but after waiting at Nantes they have heard, he has had to go Havre and has been delayed three months. May God bring him and his two companions safely. Brute tells him that Blanc is bringing gifts. He needs them since the convent of nuns which he has had to transform into a college and a residence was in bad repair. If Blanc brings him money he will immediately send the $200 to Brute. P.S. The widow of Emperior Iturbide is there. She left four daughters and a boy of eight in England. She is taking measures for them to come the north way and wants to send them somewhere for a short time. Dubourg did not hesitate to suggest that the girls go to St. Joseph and asks that Dubourg accept the boy for the short time. The children are on the point of landing in New York. Dubourg is writing to the mother superior at St. Joseph and asks Brute to ask Dubois. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - French - 3pp. 4to. 3
