Additional Description

Container Summary

1 ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to Albert Roothaan wishing Albert a happy new year and commenting on the passage of time; stating that it is the highest honor to suffer for God than for anything else; asking Albert to thank Mr. Fisscher for a letter and a book he had received; complaining that the new government of Spain has no intention of reconciling with the Church and will probably remain unstable in the near future. "Quant a l'Espagne, mon cher, il n'y a rien a copirer(?) pour le moment a ce qu'il paroit. Ce Gouvernment ne veut pas serieusement la reconciliation avec l'Eglise- et n'a fait que semblant cette reconciliation- ce n'est qu'un manteau pour couvrir son iniquite.- Rome s'en est appercu, a ce qu'il paroit, et rien ne se fait, dit-on, et on n'espere rien, tant que cela reste ainsi; dit-on; car je n'entre pas le moins du monde sans ces affaires."
