Jan, Father Ange Marie, St. Martinville, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1853 December 3

Father Anthony J. Jourdant, S.J. Jourdan having promised to go by today on his way to the city, Jan takes the opportunity to send 198.50 piastres: $145 from dispensations this year, $53.50 from the collections for the seminary. The Association of the Propagation of the Faith remains to be settled. Father Anthony Désiré Mégret plans to go to the city next week; Jan asks Rousselon to send back with him 2 ordos and some Annales; they have 6 groups. Jan thanks Rousselon for the note in Father Arthur William Duquesnay 's letter. Jan answered Duquesnay as soon as he got the information. They have been privileged in regard to the epidemic; only one case. Their neighbors, including Pont Breaux have had only 23 or 24 victims. :: VI-1-f A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
