Additional Description

Container Summary

1 ALS in French from Jan Philip Roothaan, S.J. in Rome to W. H. Ter Horst asking forgiveness for not having responded to ter Horst's letter of 10 August 1835 which was delayed because Albert Roothaan had forgotten to pass it on to Jan Philip; complimenting ter Horst on his good handwriting despite his advanced age; and thanking ter Horst for the gift of a Greek New Testament which he gave Jan Philip in his youth (the book is in Paris, however, in transit to Rome from Amsterdam). "Je reponds bien tard a votre agreable lettre du 10 Aout 1835 (!), et j'aurois bien des excuses a vous faire, mon cher cousin, si je ne pouvois vous dire que seulement depuis peu de jours votre lettre m'est arrivee. Je vous prierai donc de gronder bien mon frere, pour avoir retarde a longtems a me l'envoyer. Moi aussi, pour mon compte, je le gronderai, et cela le preservera d'une rechute."
