Chiaveroti, Father Charles Louis, St. James, Louisiana, to Father John Timon, C.M., Barrens, Missouri, 1829 January 5
Scope and Contents
He received Timon's letter of November 10, 1828. The description of the misfortunes of such a respectable community aroused in him much commiseration. But so hard is his present situation that commiseration and pity are the only means he has of acknowledging the call for relief. He is now under may a debt, from which he sees no way of emancipation. Chiaveroti is not yet sufficiently acquainted with the members of his congregation to stir them to make pious contributions. One of his confreres informs him that this means of raising money for the poor had been tried by himself not far from this parish, without success. He sends respects to Father Odin and to all at the Seminary. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
