Scope and Contents Father Francis Breitkopf, who visits the Poles of Paris near Forrestville, has sent him a pressing request from these brave people that he sends them a priest of their Congregation Ressurectionists . He cannot do so for some time, as he has sent all the subjects he could spare to the bishop of Galveston, Texas where there are 10,000 Poles. He knows, however, a Francis Richter, age 29, who went to Rome but cannot be ordained for lack of patrimony or of benefice. If Lefevere ordains him, he...

Scope and Contents The future pastor for the Poles has finished his novitiate, and has passed the examinations at the Vicariate, for ordination. This next June he will be a priest and is about to depart. He will stop 2 or 3 days in Canada to get acquainted with the parochial minister. Kajsiewicz hopes to be able to give him a companion, a scholastic, who will do at first as a schoolmaster, and whom Lefevere can later ordain priest, but in any case, he will give him a Brother capable of caring for a school. He...

Scope and Contents He had the honor to send Lefevere a letter through Father Eugene Funcken, C.R. some weeks ago announcing that the missionary for his Poles would be ready at the beginning of July and asked that the money for the voyage be sent in good time.

Scope and Contents Kane was disappointed the other day to find that Blanc did not pass this way. He had made up his mind to go down with him but how has determined to wait nine or ten days. His health is very good; his nerves will get strong when God wills. His affliction now is a sore throat. The doctor finds something which he is going to cut out if he cannot succeed by more lenient measures. Kane expects that Father Stephen Rousselon is home by this time after his long journey. Kane is astonished that...

As Kane told Blanc a few days ago, he was ready to start for New Orleans this morning but is prevented. Zulmée Narcisse, Mr. Narcisse's second daughter is dangerously sick of typhoid fever and it would be the height of ingratitude to leave; he will wait until her sickness is over. Kane saw Father Charles Boglioli, C.M. last Sunday; he entrusted Kane to ask Blanc for dispensation for Victor and Frances, slaves. :: VI-1-j A.L.S. Part Latin 2pp. 12mo.

Scope and Contents Kane asks Blanc not to be displeased at the Donaldson postmark. Deeming it his duty to comply with Blanc's wishes, Kane had made up his mind to remain at St. Martinville until called elsewhere. But the state of his wardrobe rendered a rapid journey to the coast a necessity. But alas for human calculations, the boat left him in the lurch. In Blanc's letter he enumerates several counts against Kane to which he can give a satisfactory answer. Kane begs Blanc not to accuse him of having given...

Upon hearing of Blanc's return to the city, Kane's first thought is to write. He heard that Blanc was unwell at Attakapas but trusts he is well now. Kane has now the appearance of health and youth. His throat has come safe out of its caustic ordeal. These days he is smoking arsenic and finds it a poor substitute for the more fragrant cigar. This family to whom he owes so deep a debt of gratitude send their respects. :: VI-1-k A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.

Scope and Contents Kane hopes this note will reach Blanc before the 22nd anniversary of his consecration. Circumstances prevent Kane from being present to congratulate Blanc. Tomorrow Kane will offer Mass that God will bless them for long years with Blanc's government. The doctor, while he is sure of curing Kane's throat tells him that he cannot expect too much from it for a long time. Kane had eight leeches applied to it last Monday. Mr. Landry 's family offers their respects and Miss Aimée Landry ? asks a...

Scope and Contents After three weeks absence from the city it is time for a letter. Kane feels a little lonesome though he finds this good family even kinder and more amiable than ever. The advantages to his health, the satisfaction of many to hear Mass and who fulfill their Easter duty compensate in some measure. Several on the other side who complain of not being able to understand Father Michael Calvo, C.M. have come here. The doctor thinks Kane is in a fair way of doing well but thinks it will be necessary...

Scope and Contents Kane was in a hurry the other day when he paid Blanc his respects, and did not have time to clarify a misconception which he heard Blanc holds regarding Father H. Lamy of Covington, Louisiana, and himself. Kane never asked Lamy to entertain him for the summer, nor asked permission to speak in Lamy's parish, though Lamy did ask him to preach to raise funds. Mr. Maillet of Covington heard the conversation. Lamy wished him to begin his sermons in the middle of May, but he was unable to carry...

Scope and Contents Kane gives his reasons for wishing to be dispensed from assisting at the retreat to which he has been invited by the Vicar-General. Kane has recently made a long retreat in this calm solitude and believes he benefits more by this type. Also, he can never appear in public without being asked questions of a nature which obliges him to give evasive answers. Though the interests of his family require him to go to the city every five or six weeks, he still yearns for obscurity where he may repair...

Scope and Contents Since Kane's arrival, his health was so feeble that he dared not write about it. He has received liberal attention from this incomparable family. For the last two days he has felt the "vis rediviva" of the country air. Doctor Duffel comes to visit Kane; he finds something wrong in the right lung but he says by good care it may be effectually counteracted. The fits of palpitation he attributes to weakness. Duffel founds his hopes of recovery on Kane's youth. Kane regarded Blanc's command to...

Scope and Contents The receipt of Blanc's letter places Kane under additional obligation. When he last wrote Blanc he informed him of his improvement. He afterwards sent word by Father Michael Calvo, C.M. that his expectations were not totally disappointed. Though he progresses a little, his breast is on the decline. Last Sunday he went to Donaldson and thereby well nigh brought on a total relapse. Hitherto he has managed to say Mass for this incomparable family, say his Office, and if his side does not pain...

Scope and Contents After 3 weeks, changes have taken place in Kane's health and inclinations. If took him about 10 days to recover from his trip to the city. But true to Blanc's instruction to try to make a man of himself, Kane resolved to get better. The drowsy dullness departed and left him almost as he was before he started on his journey. He is so nervous. Dr. Duffel says that if he were a woman he would have hysterics every quarter of an hour. Had Kane Blanc's permission he would take a trip by sea as far...

Scope and Contents Kane went to Donaldsonville early this morning in hopes of meeting Blanc on his return from Attakapas. As he was disappointed, he writes some tidings about himself. He would have written Blanc at Franklin or Patterson but he thought the same fatality which had accelarated his return would have prevented Blanc from visiting either on the day agreed upon. The fatigue of traveling incommoded Kane for a few days, after which he recovered his usual health. He was a welcome visitor on the coast;...
