Scope and Contents It is absolutely necessary to have a church for a permanent establishment among the Indians, but particularly for the glory of God. There are Presbyterians there who cause them much trouble. If they had a suitable church the Superior of Father Quiontet Father Francis Cointet, C.S.C. could come and give them a good sermon. This would soon make the others see their error or at least attract the Catholics. He has the idea, if the Bishop will permit, to take up a small collection at Detroit. If...

Scope and Contents England has received Brute's two letters and had only a few minutes since he has had to settle some business before leaving town for a few days. He has been disappointed in not getting a single French paper since the republication of the Miscellany. They are too poor to for the subscription Father Pierre Joseph Picot probably has not received his notes. He has asked a French merchant there to get him the Amis and the Memorial Catholique and he would pay for them but he does not expect...

Scope and Contents England has just with mortification read the Editor's article on intention. England does not know who the editor is or who wrote the article. He has twice refused to insert the same attack from the same quarter in the Miscellany, though he was prepared to answer it, merely because he saw that it would involve the paper in a useless controversy. The doctrine as put by Dr. Moses Waddell concludes irresistibly against the editor and the editor has not made the slightest approach to a rational...

Scope and Contents Confidential. Notwithstanding every effort to leave for New Orleans tomorrow he perceives that the attempt would be an insurance of almost ruin to a portion of his charges. He labored to place his affairs in such a state as would allow him to visit Blanc's city and meet him and Father James Ignatius Mullon and other friends but God willed otherwise. Pecuniary claims form the least part of his obligation. There are consequences of another description which Blanc and Mullon would be the first...

Scope and Contents England has received from Father Joseph Van Horsigh of Washington an introductory note recommending his countryman Louis Dutremerz who leaves in the morning for New Orleans. He will probably arrive as soon as a letter England will send to Father James Ignatius Mullon to notify him that England leaves about the first of March to meet Mullon's wishes for St. Patrick's Day. His Viaticum has also been duly honored?. England hopes to spend a week with Blanc though greatly pressed for time....

Father James Ignatius Mullon wrote England by the same post; he expressed a preference for the festival of St. Patrick. England has determined to leave the 1st or 2nd of March and thus hopes to see Blanc on the 9th or 10th. He is greatly crippled for time and cramped in finances so he must not stay longer than the 18th. :: V-4-l A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.

Scope and Contents England answers Brute's French letter in English but Brute may write in either language to him. Aug. 30. He could not continue the letter for want of time.

Scope and Contents England sends Brute employments enough and hopes he will not be displeased. Accompanying this is a pamphlet of 80 pages by a Thomas Grimke, one of their state senators. England is a member of the same society and will deliver the next ration in May. He was not present when this was delivered and will not attack it as a member of the society. The production as unphilosophical and tasteless must not go unnoticed. The Miscellany is the place to keep him on the pillory for some months and...
