Except a few negroes attacked by the epidemic, all have been well. Some say also that strangers can safely visit New Orleans now. Timon's brother-in-law and sister are still with a particular family but both seem of a very weak constitution. They could not recover here in a climate milder than St. Louis but Tichitoli does not know how they can establish themselves here. Tichitoli first thought Mr. Douglas might have a little store and at the same time work at his trade but he is almost destitute of money. They have no house furniture. Board and lodging cannot be found for less than $40 a month for both. If they lived by themselves, her weak state of health would make a servant necessary and this would be not less that $15 a month. As for his trade, there is another one, a Creole. People are used to buying on credit and very cheaply, their saddles and bridles coming from the North. Tichitoli has too many debts to advance them anything. Perhaps some of Timon's rich parishioners will. Tichitoli will speak to all the Landrys. Tichitoli will also write to Father Louis Moni; he is so good, perhaps he can arrange all. :: IV-3-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
