Megret, Father A.D., Vermillionville, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 March 11

Messrs Lemoine and Meunier, editors of the new newspaper at Vermillionville, will bring the prospectus for the Bishop, Rousselon, and the other priests. Rousselon can easily judge the paper by the prospectus. The Bishop will find in it a powerful aid in the good he wishes to do for his Church. He will not be under any orders from the editors of L'Union for justice to be done and the Church of Louisiana delivered from the tyranny of the trustees. Megret is sending these gentlemen to J. Bayon for help in getting a press. He also wishes that Rousselon would present the new editors to the Bishop for his blessing on the work. They will have a trustees' meeting on the 13th; Megret will tell them of Rousselon's request; Megret fears they will repudiate the debt, such is the great Creole faith. :: V-4-n A.L.S.
