Cretin, Father Joseph, Dubuque, Iowa, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1848 July 13
Scope and Contents
Yesterday Cretin received Rousselon's letter and the articles. He can count on the faithful acquitment of the offerings sent. One of the boxes contained trees and vines and was to arrive here in April. All the plants are dead. The other box contained church articles for Bishop Mathias Loras. If Rousselon knows of a German priest who would like to go north, they have great need of one. But better none, than a bad one. Cretin is forced to believe that Catholicity is not making progress in the United States. :: V-5-j A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
