I am really happy that you have appreciated Brother Theodore as he deserves, he is certainly the most distinguished, the most intelligent, the best we have.

On this occasion I readily give witness, most Holy Father, to the Society of Missionaries of Algiers, for the zeal of their members of whom a number have already shed their blood for the faith, as also for their regularity and for their attachment to the Holy See.

While they are everywhere exposed to injustice, insult, calumny, persecution, and soon perhaps a bloody persecution, they live in peace under the protection of Saint Louis and that of all the great Saints and Holy Martyrs of Carthage.

The most serious deficiency that I find in the temporal point of view is the combining of the functions of the Bursar with those of Superior.

I will begin this Comments Report, which I leave to the Fathers and Brothers of St. Louis of Carthage, by congratulating them on the spirit of union and fraternal charity, which seemed to me to reign among them.
