Tucker has been requested to ask about having a few Sisters. Augustus Jones offers 17 acres of tillable land and 24 town lots. He gave $1450 for it. Tucker thinks it very suitable but cold give no answer before hearing from Timon. If Timon intends to come he can see it judge for himself or he can write.

Tucker has been requested by the family of Mr. Heifner? and others to write to Timon; he scarcely knows for what purpose.

Scope and Contents Being carnival time, tucker has some leisure hours. He sends a few lines to keep alive the esteem he has always had for Timon.

Scope and Contents It has been a year since he received a letter from Timon. Father John Mary Odin, C.M. has not yet returned from Naples where he went immediately after Easter.

Timon need not expect Bishop John England of Charleston here in a short...

Father August Jeanjean has been in Rome since December 25 at the Propaganda and tucker passes an hour with him every day. Jeanjean is engaged with the Prefect of Propaganda, Cardinal Pedicini and...

Scope and Contents Tucker was much affected at learning by a letter from Timon that they all still cherish a tender remembrance for him. He would prefer to pass his vacation on the banks of the Mississippi as in times of old.

He describes Propaganda College for them, its resident dignitaries, its divisions of students, his view of the city and St. Peter's, the order of their day,...

Scope and Contents He moved from his office on Keeley Street several years ago and asks that his paper be addressed simply to Boston, where it will be put in his box. He reads all McMaster publishes with pleasure and knows any other success is cheap compared to the advancement of the country in faith and liberty. He envies him the calling of editor, but his own calling as merchant makes him leave the nobler mission of leading the rescuers of the country to those more fortunate in vocation. He differs from...
