He believes he cannot sell it to Timon because the person ...

Scope and Contents Rosati will leave today for Kentucky with Bishop Leo De Neckere, C.M. and Father Anthony Blanc.

Father Victor Paillasson, S.J. will tell Timon what they have decided for New Madrid. He is going to start over again for a convent. He tells Rosati that Timon thought he could make this foundation. Rosati agrees ...

Scope and Contents Father Keegan, an Irish priest who will give Timon this letter, has been educated in France and is not experienced in preaching in English. Rosati sends him to the seminary and asks Timon to ascertain his qualities and learning. Rosati has no reason to distrust him but caution is necessary in so delicate a matter. Timon is to tell father Jean-Baptiste Tornatore, C.M. that as vicar-general he could give Keegan such faculties as he sees fit. Rosati has given him permission to say Mass....

Scope and Contents Rosati spoke to Mr. Walsh about the money Timon mentioned in his letter. As he will go to the Barrens, Walsh will settle with Timon.

Scope and Contents Rosati regrets Mr. McClosky's departure and is afflicted by Mr. Herlihy's illness. He is sure that Mr. Courtin's trip to New Orleans will have the same effect that Bundy's had the year before. But if he insists on going it is clear that it is a pretext to abandon his vocation. In that case it is useless and dangerous to refuse. They are far from seeing the day of a native clergy. They must have recourse to Europe., P.S. Timon is to watch over the subject of whom Rosati expressed fears...

Scope and Contents Far from being displeased at Timon's observations, Rosati thanks him for them. He does not envy his episcopal brothers their revenues, palaces, and secretaries but he wishes he could have a good "conseil."

Rosati has received a letter from Bishop Simon Gabriel Bruté who leaves it to Bishop Flaget and Rosati to determine...

Scope and Contents If Timon has not sent the account of the ordination to the editor of the Telegraph, he is to send it as soon as possible. Timon is also to send an account of his establishment to the editor of the Catholic Repository, Boston, with a draft of the new church.

Scope and Contents Rosati has with great pleasure understood, by Timon's last letter, the arrival of Sisters Juliana, S.L. and Lucretia, S.L. and the election of the former for Superior.

Rosati would have been glad to know if he arrived safe and if they received 6 copies of the Rodriguez, two for the monastery and four for the...

Scope and Contents Yesterday he received Timon's letter of April 26. He concurs with Timon in the notion of making an establishment for the Sisters of Loretto at Father Francis Cellini's place. The Sisters should keep the school in their own house; it would not do at all to sent them to town. Rosati does not think it proper that the priest should live at the Sister's house; a small house might be built for him near the church. Timon is to tell Louis to prepare to receive subdeaconship when Rosati is at...

Scope and Contents Doutreluingne is to read this letter tomorrow from the pulpit. The trouble Doutreluingne has been given, very unjustly in his parish, afflicts Rosati very much. If his health and duties permitted he would come tomorrow himself. His parishioners should recall what Rosati told them on another occasion that in sending Doutreluingne to Kaokias [Cahokias] as their pastor he was doing them a great favor in giving them the preference over many other Catholics who have asked for a priest. But...

Scope and Contents Bishop Benedict Joseph Flaget persuaded Rosati to accompany him to Bardstown on a very important affair.

Genevieve. Father Robert A. Abell got into a controversy with a Methodist...

Scope and Contents So far their journey could not have been wished better. They will proceed on today or tomorrow. He thinks he has found a master of music who will visit Timon's college. He can teach the violin and clarinet, is a German and a Catholic, has a family and appears to be a very good man. If they allowed him to build a log house and make a garden, he would be able to support his family. Perhaps the house where Valerie lived would answer. Rosati will speak to a German organ maker and send him...

Scope and Contents He received Lefevere's letter yesterday and was delighted to learn that the stay Lefevere made in his homeland has perfectly restored his health. He asks that God may be blessed for this and says He will also be glorified by the use Lefevere makes of his energies in traveling for the glory and salvation of his neighbors. God accorded him the same grace. For after being in Europe and especially in Italy he felt twenty years younger and suffered not the least indisposition. It seemed to him...

Scope and Contents 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...
