Brands, C.M., Father John, Paincourtville, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1856 February 2

Brands asks Rousselon to send him one of the altar stones which he sent if they have been consecrated. Rousselon could send them on the Carrier which leaves New Orleans Saturday. Brands is in need of it because the carpenters are just about finished and will go immediately to the hospital at Donaldsonville to work. If Father A.H Gandolfo, C.M. has given Rousselon the 100 piastres to pay the passage of their character of a sacristan who has changed his tune, Rousselon is to keep them until Father Anthony Verrina, C.M. or Brands asks for them. They have not yet received the Lenten regulations; Brands would also like to have the pastoral letter of the Council. :: VI-1-j A.L.S. French 2pp. 16mo.
