Ladavière, S.J., Father A. Pierre, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 May 15

The likelihood of rain made him come back from a little trip this morning; he gave Father Bonaventure Armengo l his cases for the Holy Oils and asked him to be his living letter to Rousselon. He asks that the cases be filled as much as possible so they will be enough for St. James and St. Michael. Ladavière intends to go down to New Orleans the week after Ascension, before Trinity. He has not yet had First Communion in the parish, he wants to have it before Pentecost. First Communion at the Convent will wait for the Bishop's return. He does not expect much from Father St. Ives or Father Charles F. Moracchini ; they always leave him in the lurch. :: V-4-n A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
