Brands, C.M., Father John, Seminary Lafourche, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 March 8?

Sometime ago Brands wrote that he would send 100 piastres which Rousselon was to send to Father Anthony Penco, C.M. by a draft on Benoist and Company. He also notified Penco who writes that he has not received it. Up to now Brands has not had a favorable occasion to send Rousselon this money and he fears Rousselon has not sent the draft, and in case he has not, he is not to do so. Brands will send the money by his confreres. Brands has been ill almost all the time this winter. However the good weather has revived his health although he is very weak. He asks Rousselon to obtain for him the Bishop's permission to say the low Mass of their Community on Holy Thursday in the seminary chapel. :: VI-1-g A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
