Llebaria, C.M., Father Jean Francois, Assumption, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 July 14

John and Dionysia, related in the first degree, ask for a dispensation in order to marry. Llebaria does not have the strength to give news of the seminary and parish as he is weak from an attack of pleurisy contracted 20 days ago. The important mission of dear Mrs.? Potier, begun more than 14 years ago had been given to Father P.J. Doutreluingne, C.M., this year he ran into trouble so that they forbid him to set foot there as in the other missions also. All this comes about because he is always scolding both without and with reason. They are waiting impatiently for Bishop John Mary Odin, C.M., who is to be Superior of the seminary in the absence of Father Bonaventure Armengol, C.M. :: V-4-o A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
