Scope and Contents Nozo today received Blanc's letter of August 25.

Nozo believes Father John Timon, C.M. is...

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...

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

Scope and Contents Nozo has received the letter in which Timon and Father John Mary Odin, C.M. have stated the reasons which make them judge that it is à propos to continue to have charge of St. Mary's College. This shows Nozo to be quite inconsequent but if it is for the greater glory of God, he will not be hindered by human respect. Nozo will make no decision on the subject for the moment and Timon can defer until a new order. Since Timon plans to come to France, they will examine this affair., P.S. ...

Scope and Contents Nozo saw with consolation the departure of the three young confrères Vincentians from Italy who wish to share the work in America.
