Brute greets Purcell as a friend at the altar. The news Purcell has received is exact for the chief persons. Brute indicates that though there are disagreements between priests they all seek the truth and that in obeying the Archbishop they are achieving the best thing. The Archbishop allows those to complete the two years of theology who have begun with a right intention and he grants others to begin their first year. Since Egan has told Purcell of the main changes Brute adds a few notes. 1. Marechal associates Purcell with Mt. St. Mary's, 2. Purcell gave himself to the house and not to Dubois in person, 3. They desire his return as soon as possible, 4. Egan will explain the circumstances of the return, in the month of April. He lists five books he wants from Father M. Mollevaut. He has misplaced another book of Father Eudes he does not want. He, Purcell is to express his good wishes to Father Mollevaut and to Father Anthony Garnier to whom he owes letters, and to some others he mentions. He asks for prayers for Morgan Bulgar who will die that day. They have already 99 boarders and 26 others. They will soon have many boys above the hundred. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - French - 4pp. 4to. 5
