Lamy, Father George, Covington, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1858 November 10

Lamy was prevented from going to the city because of having to visit the sick. Rousselon is to keep the Holy Oils which Father Victor Pivet had and to let Lamy know whether he found in Pivet's pouch, the 35 piastres which Lamy had given him a few days before his death. Lamy could say some Masses if Rousselon has any extra stipends. Left alone by the death of a man he loved sincerely, still things are going well. Last week 161 received Holy Communion in the three villages he visits regularly and the men outnumbered the women. :: VI-1-o A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
