Scope and Contents All the news about their mission in America has only reaffirmed them in their resolutions and measures which they have taken on the subject. They are very touched that Bishop Joseph Rosati, C.M. is opposed but they have had to seek above all the good of their institute. They have been consoled to learn that their confreres have learned of their decisions with pleasure, that those who were separated seem so well disposed to return. Timon is to tell them that they will never lack the...

Scope and Contents Nozo has just received Timon's letter of February 3. It gave him consolation in his anxieties over their mission in America. He has nothing but praise for the zeal of his confreres.

If the circumstances have become more favorable for the continuation of St. Mary's College, all that is necessary is to inform...

Nozo notes with sorrow that many confrères and especially Father John Mary Odin, C.M. manifested, at first,...

Scope and Contents Father John Timon, C.M.'s stay in France must seem long to them, but not to Nozo because of the many affairs that he had to treat of after Nozo's return from Italy. Nozo gave him advice about their mission which is particularly dear to him. He consents to their keeping St. Mary's College until favorable circumstances present themselves for withdrawing from it.
