Beaugier, Father, Opelousas, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1854 June 19
Scope and Contents
About two weeks ago, they were visited by one of the Jesuit? Brothers of Grand Coteau who brought Beaugier the holy oils. This Brother told him that Rousselon had a thick letter from Europe addressed to Beaugier. He has asked for it four times in vain at Opelousas. He asks Rousselon not to leave him waiting any longer for this letter which perhaps is important. He also asks Rousselon to reply to his first letter. The people of Opelousas are beginning to wonder about Rousselon's long silence and Beaugier has trouble restraining their impatience. As for Beaugier's position, he rigorously observes what Rousselon recommended. He keeps peace with Father John F. Raviol. P.S. He asks Rousselon to give the enclosed letter to Father Napoleon Jospeh Perché A.L.S.
