He took for his text from A Cor 6,9,10 Quasi morientes et ecce vivimus. "The Community consists of four persons...

Scope and Contents Cheverus has received Brute's 2 letters and he appreciated the purity of Brute's zeal. In May he followed the advice of Archbishop Ambrose Marechal and transmitted his letter to the Grand Almoner. Instead of accepting his refusal the King ordered them to appoint him in his name and of the country which demanded his services. He can do no less than throw himself at the feet of his majesty. He does so against his inclination. Brute may blame him but have pity of him and pray for him....

Scope and Contents Father Anthony Désiré Mégret did not retire a bond for $240 drawn on them for the sale of the little house for which Mr. Robert made the arrangement.

Therefore the note presented to her and which she refused to pay, will be protested. Robert left here, Mégret having held? him to paying is note with the money she should have given him. Father...

Scope and Contents Sister reminds Rousselon that Thursday, the 30th, they will give out the prizes. If she did not fear to upset the general custom they would not give them this year as the children have never been so lazy and ill disposed. It is quite the contrary at Vermillion. Sister St. Paul Aucoin, O. Carm. and Mrs. Long praise the children, their little distribution was a solemn occasion and the parents were delighted. The Bishop found a place as a teacher for Mrs. Long's niece. Perhaps if he knew of a...

Scope and Contents Mr. Robert, from whom she had asked a receipt for the 200 piastres, came this morning and said that when he asked for this receipt from Father Anthony Désiré Mégret he replied that Sister had a notarized paper which sufficed, since the portion for which they paid $200 was in the 4th lot of ground. So it amounts to this: Mégret in 1847 sold them what he had given them in 1846! These $200 and the 507 Sister Elizabeth, O. Carm. gave is a considerable sum for a poor house. Sister Elizabeth...
