Brute has been so good that Rosati dares to bother him with another problem. This is an act of charity. In St. Louis is a small house called a hospital which was given by a Catholic. It is very small and the sick in it do not receive the help in it that one would find in a hospital in Europe. The Emmitsburg Sisters of Charity have made it clear in Baltimore that they can perform the marvels that take place in the hospitals of Europe. Before hoping to establish a hospital in St. Louis he would like to have some of them to assume the direction of the work. He asks Brute to help him get them. If Brute gives a favorable response he will try to arouse the generosity of Americans and the French towards the charitable needs. After finding out what can be done he will plan to achieve the rest. He asks Brute to address him at St. Mary's Seminary at the Barrens. He is making a tour of his diocese to give confirmation and finds that religion not only is not losing but even gains. One would imigine he was in France when he attended the French at St. Charles, The Portage, Vid Poche. The musketters on horseback, the procession of the ingabitant etc. 120 Communicants at St. Charles and many more in the villages. He has ordained 4 Jesuits priest at Florissant they do much good. It is a pleasure to see their little Indians so well behaved. Father Charles Van Qickenborne has visited the Ossages and is well satisfied. They need priests for Kansas and he hopes to get them one next spring. He has a letter form Bishop William Louis DuBourg who promises help. His seminary at Montabaun promises to form and to send priests to help him. He is in hate and asks the prayers of all. :: II-3-o - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. 4to. 4
