Abbadie, S.J., Father John Francis, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1848 November 20

He has already taken steps to have a chapel at the two ends of his parish and has not yet asked the Bishop's approval. Rousselon is to find out what he thinks of it. In the Association of the Propagation of the Faith the year begins, he thinks, the day one is enrolled. He will try to get some more subscriptions to the Propagateur. If two chapels are built, however, would not the registers of the church for baptisms, burials, etc. suffice? The Ladies will start their vacation December 13. Father Gilles and Father Corne are well. :: V-5-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
