\nI am delighted, My dear Monsieur Rosati, by the promises that your worthy Vic. Gén has made you.---But, believe me, begin as soon as you have the available funds, for your foundation will then give you the means to decorate and embellish what rises above it. Your brother Maçon and the aid that you are expecting must, in my opinion, serve this goal first. The rest must come later. You will regret all your life having proceeded otherwise.\n

\nI will take the Negress, if someone wants to give me 6 months of credit for the $254. Do not make use of the $200 in cash from the bill that I am sending you, only insofar as you obtain this credit, and in addition that you know this girl as a person of strong constitution, intelligence, submission, and good behavior. On this last point, what you tell me of her religion reassures me; but I mainly favor the other qualities, above all the 1st and the 3rd.\n

\nWhen Mr. Michaud arrives, I ask you to send me Mr. Quin for ordination along with this Monsieur and Mr. Saunier.--- I will ordain Mr. de Neckeré in St. Genev. --- and the others, if there are any, at the Seminary, but only in October, or the beginning of November, hoping by then to have regained my health, which is always languishing. \n

\nI am sending you your breviaries. If any volumes are missing, let me know which ones.\n

\nI write to Mr. Martin, if he has his effects, to embark by steamboat, on the assumption, however, that he is doing well. Mr....

Based on certain reports, whatever good he may do there, I believe that a Priest who knows English will do better in those quarters; a single priest will suffice for St. Charles, Portage, Dardenne, and even the coast without special planning. Mr. Dahmen would work perfectly for this. So I will think about giving Mr. Acq. the parish of Mr. Valezano near that of Mr. Bigeschi. But his great warmth is still preferable, especially in this quarter. When you and he discuss this, if you consent, give him the strongest warnings to avoid all unnecessary spending and not to make any expenses beyond the ordinary without yours or my permission: and to regard the excess of his revenue against any expenses as the sacred property of the mission --- I believe that you should give the same reprimands to all your Mess.\n\n-\n

\nI have not been able to procure the aforementioned bill; in eight or ten days I will compensate for it.
