Boullier, C.M., Father John, Paris, France, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 February 25

Boullier is addressing to Rousselon a box of books for Mr. Pavy, C.M. of their house at Cape Girardeau. St. Vincent's College having been chartered by the legislature, Boullier does not think there will be any entry fee. He encloses no enclosure the bill; it is not in detail but he wants to send the box with Mr. Pi rce of New Orleans who came to make some purchases in Paris. Rousselon is to send it on by the first steamboat going to St. Louis and also send the letter Boullier writes Pavy. Boullier has been in Paris since the 12th, Shrove Tuesday, but there was no demonstration that he knows of. They had a good crossing, leaving January 8 and reaching Havre on February 11. He mailed Rousselon's letter for Lyons. He also mailed Father Louis? Dufour 's letter to his address in St. Denis street but it seems that it crossed with his letter as on Boullier's arrival he was with his family. He came to see Boullier recently. He is tired of France; he has gout. He would like to return to Louisiana and is waiting for a letter from the Bishop. He promised to come back to see Boullier. Boullier mailed him the three other letters from the Bishop as well as that of Brother Joseph for his brother. Nothing new here except the March 10 elections. It seems the socialists may win because of the apathy and disunion of the conservatives. Father Viallier, C.M.? asks to be remembered. Boullier has seen Father Louis Regis Deluol ; he is very well. P.S. in margin They are the books for the prizes. :: V-5-m A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
