Ladavière, S.J., Father A. Pierre, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Father Etienne Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 January 14

Letter courtesy of Mr. Cantrelle. Will Rousselon send them 4 ordos; Ladavière will commission Mr. Vezian to ship them on the "Jack Armstrong" which comes up Wednesday. Ladavière has heard that the Cathedral affairs have been settled. He has $38 for Bishop Anthony Blanc ; if he had the bill for the catechisms he could pay everything. Vezian could give it to Rousselon as he has some of Ladavière's money. Rousselon will note that their proceeds are scanty especially the collection at Christmas for the seminary which formerly brought 40 piastres. Ladavière has been sick abed for two days; he hopes to say Mass tomorrow. :: V-4-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
