Jamey, Father Victor, Opelousas, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1841? November 28

Jamey takes the opportunity of Jourdan's going to send back the young man that he brought from town. One week was sufficient to show that he is a greedy, sulky boy. Being absent all week Jamey can judge only from the reports of Jourdan and of Jamey's brother. Jamey can affirm that several times he could hardly get him up for Father Joseph Billon's mass and then his eyes are continually sore. Last Thursday Jamey was at Lafayette where he hopes to take Billon next Friday. The repairs will not be finished but Billon wants so much to go. Also Father Theodore de Theux, S.J., who is called every week two or three times, finds the trip so difficult that he asks that a pastor be sent. All the priests are convinced that this is one of the better parishes of Blanc's diocese and Jamey has only praise for the trustees. Jamey hopes to write more fully in a week. :: V-4-l A.L.S.
