I am with the utmost consideration, Your most obedient Serv', F. MATIGNON. REV. F. MATIGNON TO MATHEW CAREY. SIR-I have received your answer of September last, & beg you in consequence to send me 4 dozen Vade-mecum, & ten bibles, as mentioned before, & as soon as possible, & to draw for payment at the same time. I hope you will print again very soon the garden of the Soul; which I imagine still susceptible of some improvement, though very excellent already. I pray God to continue to preserve you in health, & to restore it to all the inhabitants of your unhappy city. I would be very happy to hear of Mr. O'Neale, Mr. Eunice, &c. Your most obedient and humble Servant, BOSTON, October 18, 1797. F. MATIGNON. REV. F. MATIGNON TO MATHEW CAREY. SIR-In a letter of Novber 2 you mentioned to me an envoice of books. by the Sarah C. Tarsis; they never came to town. Nor can I account for the delay by the vessel being detained in the ice, since several vessels have been to & fro since that time.—I beg you to send me with the books formerly mentioned, or, if they are on the passage, by some next opportunity, 6 dozens of the little Catechisms, 2 German prayerbooks, & a couple of a French prayer-book printed in your town les Etiennes Spirituelles, if not above 1⁄2 Dollar a piece. I would wish also to have Manning's entertainements, if you have got them, or any book of nearly the same kind, if you have had any lately imported. Your most obedient h. servant, Febr. 19, 1798. F. MATIGNON. REV. F. MATIGNON TO MATHEW CAREY. BOSTON, 2 August, 1802. SIR :-The books mentioned in your letter of July the 27th came to hand a few days before. I very much thank you for those that you have added as a Subscription to our building. Be so good as to forward as soon as you can the 12 gardens of the soul, & the pocket Missal, together with Gahan's sermons, which were omitted in the last. However, if you have no pocket Missal on hand, you may, if you choose, send 3 Vade Mecum instead of it, which I suppose come to the same price. But, be so good likewise as to inclose togeather a parcel which I had sent to your house, containing a dozen or more infallibility's other books, with a request that they should be sent here with your other books. You will much oblige your Obedient humble Servant. Be so kind as to send the inclosed to Mr. Rosseter, [O. S. A.] FR. MATIGNON. REV. F. A. MATIGNON TO MATHEW Carey. BOSTON, 27 October, 1806. DEAR SIR:-Tho we gave some away we have nearly half of the whole number of bibles we got from you on our hands; nor is there any likelihood of having many of them asked for before a considerable time; most of those who are able to procure one having some either of your former edition, or imported from Ireland. I shall however do what I can to encourage the sale of yours. I remain. Dear Sir. Your obed' humble Servant, FRANCIS A. MATIGNON. 1890 RT. REV. LEONARD NEALE TO MATHEW CAREY. DEAR SIR-The Bearer (Elizabeth McKenna) lately arrived here from Ireland in the Ship Eagle being deserted by her husband, is reduced to extreme distress. She is truly an object deserving the attention of the Hibernian Society. As I understand you are the Secretary of the acting commitee, I make no doubt but that you will present her case and patronize her in her application. Her present distress requires present relief, & her design of returning to her son in Ireland, who is represented to be in good circumstances, I am confident will be favour'd by the Society. Your concurrence in this affair will much oblige, Y' Very Hble Svt LEON NEALE. RT. REV. LEONARD NEALE TO MATHEW CAREY GEO. T. C., Nov 13. 1804. SIR-I have recd your two letters purporting your proposal of reprinting the Doway Bible &c. I have published the same in order to reconoiter the number of the Disposed to favour your undertaking. Some few have sent in their names: More, I suppose will soon be added to the number. Many families being provided with copies of your former eddition find it needless to put themselves to further expence on the present occasion. I will take ten copies for myself, some friends & those who have applied to me. Should the number of Subscribers encrease I will let you know. I remain S' RT. REV. LEONARD NEALE TO MATHEW CAREY. GEO. T., Jan 18-1805. SIR-A. Mr Cannon is returning to Philada I avail myself of the opportunity of forwarding the names of a few subscribers who have been procured by the Reva M' W" Matthews in Washington City & neighbourhood. Other subscribers from the Country have not as yet sent me their names. With great regard I am Sr. Y Obd H. S LEON NEALE Bsp of Gortn'a ARCHBISHOP CARROLL TO MATHEW CAREY. DEAR SIR- -I have had no time to answer your favours sooner, nor has it been in my power to ascertain the number of bibles for which you may expect to get a sale in Baltimore. On Sunday I gave public notice in church of your intention to reprint it, & desired all, who wished for copies, to give in their names. But you know men of business, such as are all here, do not go out of their way to subscribe for books, & I neither can, or shall attempt to solicit subscriptions by a personal attendance. In consequence, few have come forward, tho I heard often in all parts of the country, and it is repeated every day, that many, very many wish for a new Catholic edition of the bible, that they may supply themselves. I am very truly Dr Sir, Y' most humble St BAL, Oct. 31-1804. J. Bip of Bal". ARCHBISHOP CARROLL TO MATHEW CAREY. BALT, March 16-1810. DEAR SIR :-Knowing that M' Th C. Jenkins of this city was to see you before he went to, and at his return from W.

This has caused the utmost anguish in the tender MTM breast, and the bearer of these lines is sent to find him, prevent his going on board any vessel in your port, & bring him back to his friends, who promise to yield to his desire, after his return, whenever they find a Captain in whom they have confidence, who will act as a friend if he should want special attention. Be pleased to communicate these particular to Mr. Jenkins, if with you; but if he be not come from W. Chester, let me request you to procure an intelligent active person to accompany Mr. Grover or Gold in his search & thus contribute to procure some relief for a most worthy and respectable Lady. Be pleased to accept my respectful wishes in behalf of yourself & good lady & all your family. I am with real esteem D' Sir Y' most humble S †J. B. of B. BERNARD DORNIN TO MATHEW CAREY. M.
