Until the time of his death, one of Eugene’s greatest joys was to receive letters from the Oblates in the foreign missions. He would immediately have them read in the houses of formation so as to whet the appetite of the novices and scholastics for the foreign missions.

Finally, I have learned that our travelers have arrived in Canada. They had left on September 1 and, since we had come to December without my having received any news. I was truly anxious. A letter has arrived\u00a0 to reassure me: they arrived at Longueuil forty-two days after their departure from Le Havre. The travelers were Father Telmon, returning from the General Chapter, and three new members of the mission, Father Allard and Deacons Loverloch\u00e8re and Brunet.<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n
