Chambost, Father Augustus, Plaquemine, Louisiana, to Doctor Hall, Bayou Goula, Louisiana, 1855 August 12

As Hall honored Chambost with performing the funeral of his late wife, Chambost takes the liberty of telling Hall that it is usual to have a service performed 40 days after death. As the Iberville chapel is in unfitting condition, Augustus's brother, Father Charles Chambost , president of Plaquemine College offers his church and his own person to Hall's disposition. They have all that is necessary with three priests; the ornaments have just come from France. P.S. The funeral of Mrs. Hall and the expenses incurred, $110. :: VI-1-i A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
