Lamy, Father George, Covington, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 July 4

Lamy does not want to abuse Rousselon's kindness, but he asks him to send some cases of red table wine and one or two cases of white sacramental wine. They lose a good quarter of each bottle because of the heat so he would like to take to Mandeville what they know is good quality. What they give to Miss Victoire Coquillon is what they can no longer use. If it is possible to send the wine on next Wednesday it will be one of the days that Lamy is at Covington. Rousselon is to enclose the bill. P.S. Rousselon is to ask the person who loads the wine to be sure it is sent to Lamy directly. The brothers who have been here since the first have had very long delays in their freight. :: VI-1-o A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
