Additional Description

Container Summary

1 ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to Albert Roothaan sending an undescribed enclosure (not included), acknowledging the receipt of a letter from Prof. David van Lennep, sending good wishes for Albert's family; complaining that the captain of Albert's ship the Eugenie was very anti-Catholic and was hostile to priests, forcing many to go without food for much of their journey; and asking Albert to procure some flowers for Jan Philip's garden. "Sur le bonheur de votre vaisseau l'Eugenie;- je remercie le Seigneur avec vous.- Mais, mon cher Frere, savez-vous que votre capitaine est extremement hostile aux Catholiques, et surtout aux Pretres?- Ils sont fort mal traites, dit-on, sur son vaisseau.- En general, dit-on, il fait terriblement jeuner les passagers qui pourtant payent bien.- Voyez, mon cher, ce qui en est. Car je craindrais que cette maniere d'agir du Capitaine ne portat malheur a votre Eugenie.- Je prie toujours pour les voyageurs- j'ai toujours tant de mes religieux en mer!"
