472Letter Nr. 110Paris, May 24, 1836My dearest brother, Stephen!I am writing this letter to you too late. It ought to have reached youbefore Pater got there. I am writing to thank you for your gracious goodness, andfor responding to my plea, which I addressed to you in my last letter. I did notsend Peter you before now, because I was not sure when Fr. Gueranger was goingto leave Paris, and I was afraid that Peter might return from his visit you, meethim here, and become disturbed all over again. Meanwhile, it happened that Fr.Gueranger was so busy with other matters that he could visit with us only for ashort while, and did not see Peter at all. He left yesterday.Hence, the danger that I feared so much as already disappeared. For Peter,it will still be a spiritual comfort to see you, to be enlightened and strengthened byyour counsel 510 .This week, again, I will not be able to visit with you; God willing, I willcome next week. Please remind Adam about my reply concerning the articles forthe Catholic Encyclopedia.All in all, by God’s grace, everything is going well.Caesar Plater will be visiting you soon. He wants me to travel with him.Mr. Anthony Górecki is well. Last week he made a retreat with theJesuits 511 , which was a great comfort to him in his afflictions. Domejko is worriedabout the arrest od a cousin 512 , who has been accused of taking part in someFrench conspiracies.Hube and Rettel have not yet received permission to come to Paris, (butwe are hoping that it will arrive shorly) x .510 The counsel of S.
