Morisot, Father J.M., Assumption, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 November 5

Rousselon's last letter did so much good for Morisot. In his trials man here below needs to hear the consoling voice of a friend. Bishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of Texas, on his return from Donaldsonville, brought the news that Rousselon had been gravely ill but now out of danger. Morisot also has been ill. He will never forget what has been done for him by Bishop Anthony Blanc who is now with them. How he wishes he could soften Blanc's sufferings caused by the bickerings of some bad Catholics. P.S. They have just had word that they believe is false; that Blanc's life was in danger and that to avoid assassination he disguised himself as a sailor and fled by sea. Adrien Rouquette is deeply grieved by the injustices of his fellow countrymen. He sends his respects to Blanc and Rousselon. :: V-4-o A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
