Mother St. Ambroise, R.U. has just left for France to bring back subjects for her house of which Buffard was appointed Superior. She will go to Rome to request the protection of the Pope against the Bishops and the priests of America, and especially for the Lyonnais priests. There remains only Sister St. Bernard, but she will not be able to stay there alone. Buffard hopes that Sister Ambroise will be assigned to the novitiate at Auch for the end of her life. No one is able to see the end of the war. The country suffers; everything is expensive. Nevertheless, he and Father Peter Berthet do not suffer. Berthet has the school and Buffard goes around the country. He has seen several persons from Louisiana, among others Mrs. Theriot and Mr. Darspy of the last parish of Father Albino Desgaultière Degoltiere. Any mail is to be sent to Father John Mary Gayé of Matamoros, who will forward it from Brownsville. Odin is to keep the money for April letter torn here. :: I-2-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 8vo.
