Additional Description

Container Summary

1 ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to Albert Roothaan recommending two enclosed, undescribed items (not included); sending condolences on the death of their cousin, Rev. ter Horst, and asking Albert to find a relic of a piece of the holy cross which Jan had sent to the priest and give it to their cousin Katwyk; and encouraging Albert to hold out through the troubled financial times by staying honest, citing a work by Th. a Kempis. "Il n'est pas etonnant que vous eprouvez souvent de pertes. Les tems sont si mauvais, les speculations de beaucoup de gens si hazardeuses.--! Enfin, il vaut mieux perdre par la faute d'autrui, que gagner injustement. Dieu vous en guarde toujours vous et vos enfans, mon cher Frere."
