Louis, Father J.?, Attakapas, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 October 5

He still cannot return; the attacks of yellow fever seem deadly for him. He decided to return last week. But when he preached, at the request of the pastor, it almost cost him his life. Dr. Landri ordered him to be very careful. God seems to have blessed his stay at Attakapas . He discussed religion with Miss Joly, Miss Fuselier 's teacher. She was an Episcopalian; now she is a Catholic. Louis sends his respects to Father Maenhaut to whom it is impossible to write now as Louis is in bed and suffers from his head and stomach. :: V-5-h A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
