Du Bourg, Father William, Baltimore, Maryland, to Mrs. Elizabeth Seton, New York, New York, 1808 May 2

He has just written "at large" to their Bostonian friends submitting to them "the scheme" which engrosses him. Should they approve, he wants Mrs. Seton to come "hither" in two or three months to rent a new-built house which suits all his and her ideas "at least during the first year." This would give Mrs. Seton sufficient time to reflect on the propriety of the building, the spot, and the plan. He and his girls wait for her arrival., Side notes: The rent would be about $250 sic per annum., P.S. He asks her to give his respects to the Fathers Louis Sibourd, and John Byrne and to the Alomys family." "Presented by Rt. Rev. Mg. Seton." :: II-1-a A.L.S. 1pp. 8vo., 4
