Scope and Contents Timon's retarded return from St. Louis induced Cellini to solicit the coming of some of the Sisters of Loretto in this new house before his going to St. Louis with Madam Mary Smith. They were to depart this morning when it was reported that cholera raged in St. Louis. J.B.? Bossier came from St. Genevieve and forwarded Timon's letter in which Cellini thought to clear his doubts, but in vain. Cellini gives no credit to what is reported in the Republican. He is sending back Mr. Louis...

He does not know whether he can come to the Seminary before the vacations but hopes Timon will come before...

Miss Penn from Valena is in charge of the house, and no less trouble for Cellini; so it will be with Miss L. Jacques. He thinks the house is already in debt and probably hopes to have many scholars this winter, and maybe never. Such equivocal subjects ought never to be received, much less to be sent to a house so far from the Mississippi, where it is so difficult to send...
