Legrand, Father F., Pont-Breaux, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 November 10

The state of his health does not permit him to attend the retreat in January. If he is better and navigation is reestablished through Plaquemine, he will go. Rousselon is to make his excuses to the Bishop. All is well here. Confessions are more numerous and attendance at services greater. Only the money is very scarce. He would not worry but he has a church to build; when he goes to the city he will buy a ciborium and missal. V-5-l - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. - 12mo. - {2}
