He is painter, and if he could useful to you for some works,copies, restoration of paintings he would be very glad to.A thousand pardons my very dear Father for being very short this timebut I am in a state—For two weeks my health has been bad; I suffer a lot in the chest. Thatis why I can’t write as I would like to write you this time at more length. I willadd then only that on my return to Paris Abbe Rodet whom I was to take formy confessor (of the Congregation of Mr. Rodan and known particularly byFather Pascal) was dead and I approached Abbe Regnouf (known also byFather Pascal and a friend of his) and I am getting along well with him. Myaffairs are straigtening out little by little. But otherwise the spiritual andtemporal all goes well. I beg you, my very dear Father, to present my veryhumble respects to Reverend Father Abbe. Ten thousand greetings on mybehalf to my good Father and be assured yourself of my filial attachment andmy very keen gratitude for all your kindnesses. Kindly, I beg you to rememberme sometimes in your prayers and to recommend me to those of my goodFather Theodore, of Abbe Rooney, and all your good sons and confreres.
