Abbadie, S.J., Father John Francis, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 December 20

His purse is empty so he will content himself with part of the articles for the chapels. He asks Rousselon to send one chalice at $25 and two vestments, $44. Out of the subscription for the chapels, Rousselon is to give $2 to St. Mary's and two to St. Joseph's so that Abbadie owes $45. Father Gilles, the Brothers, and Abbadie send best wishes for the new year; the same to Father Jamey and all fellow workers. V-5-l - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. - 4to. - {1}
