Legrand, Father F., Pont Breaux, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, LOuisiana, 1850 November 9

Legrand received Rousselon's letter day before yesterday. While waiting to see Father James Fontbonne, Legrand wrote him today to take the step Rousselon advised and which Legrand was about to take himself. He has never told Fontbonne that he was certain Fontbonne had talked about him. He simply said that a word he had heard at the bishop's house had raised some doubts in his regard. Legrand interpreted this word badly; he recognises his error and asks Fontbonne's pardon. Legrand would like to go to the retreat, also his confrere, but navigation is difficult. :: V-5-n A.L.S.
