Additional Description

Container Summary

1 ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to Albert Roothaan describing the honor it is to suffer slander in the greater service of God; expressing horror at the exile of Msgr. Groof from Holland; and mentioning the visit of Mr. Van de Vin. "Il ne parleroit pas mal(?) de ma petite et pauvre personne, je serois completement inconnu, si je ne professois pas d'appartenir d'une maniere speciale au service de Jesus-Christ. Quel bonheur, mon cher, quelle gloire, d'etre meprise, calomnie, injurie pour lui. Nom de Jesus! C'est un bonheur, une gloire, que jamais nous ne pouvions meriter- c'est une grace toute particuliere du Seigneur, dont nous ne saurions jamais assez le remercier- et nous le benirons, j'espere, dans la bienheureuse eternite."
