On his return here, Dupuy found no letter from the Bishop. It seems Dupuy's letter would have reached the Bishop long after its date, if it was not lost. So if the Plaquemine affair is not to be slowed too much, Rousselon is to send the necessary documents. In the meantime if the Bishop's power of attorney arrives, Dupuy will use it. Father C. Mouret seems to be satisfied at Iberville; Dupuy has not seen a blunder yet. :: V-5-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents Today Dupuy received a letter about Simon Bozan. Dupuy asks Rousselon to pay no attention to his mission. He is insane.

The young people, to amuse themselves, persuaded Simon to go to Bishop Blanc to be named pastor of Plaquemine or at least sacristan and chanter. Simon's wife has just died; he does not...

Scope and Contents If Rousselon knows what has become of Father Maria Emmanuel, O.S.C.O ., he is to write to write to Gethsemani. Dupuy has just received a letter from the Abbot; they are very worried about Emmanuel; they seem believe that he perished in a boat. Emmanuel was to write to Dupuy before leaving New Orleans; he did not. The Abbot said that they had received a letter from Iberville dated January 29. It must have been Abbeville or Iberia because Emmanuel left Iberville January 21. Rousselon is to...

Scope and Contents Dupuy has just received Timon's favor of March 28; he is glad to see that all are well at the college. It may be that Dupuy will have a chance to draw that money on Bishop Joseph Rosati but Timon will give it to John B. Desruisseaux who is going to Timon's college and who will stay there no more than 6 months. A few weeks ago, Dupuy sent Peter Bogy and his cousin Charles Bogy. Lately he directed to Timon John and his brother Ignatius Desruisseaux. Dupuy entreats Timon's kindness as...

Scope and Contents Peter Bogy, brother of Louis Bogy who has been in St. Mary's College is going there too. Timon will confer on Dupuy a great favor in giving Bogy all good care for his instruction, in the sciences as well as in religion. Having no occasion for instruction in this poor country, it requires great courage and many expenses to go. Dupuy is sure his exertions in sending them will not be frustrated. Timon knows Bogy's uncle at Ste. Genevieve and his brother; they are a good family. Dupuy's ...

This year he will probably have 15 ...

Scope and Contents Dupuy received Timon's letter and thanks him for his information, the subject of which has been very unprosperous for his school. For more than two and a half months Mr. McEnery has been confined to bed, by an ardent fever at first, but at present, and for more than forty days by a real imaginary illness. In Dupuy's opinion McEnery is a real hypochondriac, if not quite crazy. As a consequence Dupuy's school for children has broken out with much contempt and dissatisfaction; much of ...
