Chambost, Father Charles, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 July 30

He is here without Father Auguste Martin whom he loves as a father. The children of Jackson, St. Francisville, and Clinton ask for the Bread of Life and so if there is no one to stay here, he will return. He is a child who does not give good prospects, as Father Gardette said many times. Rousselon will recall the first time Chambost saw him at the home of Rousselon's brother. He wishes to remain small and despised in the house of the Lord. P.S. Rousselon is to tell Father Perché to send his paper to Baton Rouge. V-5-l - A.L.S. - French - 3pp. - 4to. - {3}
