Jan, Father Ange Marie, St. Martinville, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 February 15

He regrets that Rousselon yielded to the suggestion of Father Louis Rocoffort, S.J. to go to Opelousas, first, because it deprived Jan of seeing him again, and then because Jan believes that Rousselon would have met less difficulty at Attakapas. Yesterday Jan saw Mr. Labathe to whom he gave 177 piastres to pay in full the contractor for the work of the Sisters of Mount Carmel ? which will be finished at the end of this week. P.S. Mr. Fois ? having made a number of purchases Jan has authorized him to ask Rousselon. $177 given to Labathe; $50 advanced to Sister St. Paul, Aucoin, O. Carm. ; $8 remaining due Jan for the advances in France for Father James Mary August Bonniot :: VI-1-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 12mo.
