Legrand, Father F., Pont Breaux, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 July 16

Legrand yesterday received Rousselon's letter of June 23. He wished the whole collection to go to the Peter's pence but their "Honorables" persisted in giving only $10. Rousselon is to send the black vestment and chalice as soon as possible. Some day he will receive $45; he still owes $3. The rains are continuous and the crops almost lost. He fears their church will be delayed. Legrand has had three attacks of fever. When he recovers he will go to Atchafalaya where a priest's visit will be helpful.
