Container Summary

1 brief ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to Albert Roothaan telling Albert how overwhelmed he is with work, asking if J. G. Lesage ten Broek had received his response to his request to sue the publishers of anti-Jesuit pamphlets in Holland which specifically slander Jan Philip, and reference to the conversion and visit of Mr. (Alphonse M. or M.

J'ai connu beaucoup et traite ce Mr. apres sa conversion."
