Follot, Father Francis C., Plaquemine, Louisiana, to Archbishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1860 April 20

One of his parishioners, J.B. Roth asked Follot to write. His brother Trasimond Roth is dead; he was a Catholic, his wife is a Protestant. She wants to know whether she can be buried beside her husband in the Catholic cemetery; if not she wants to transfer his remains to the Protestant cemetery. She is a very good and charitable woman. She keeps a little orphan whom she has asked Follot to prepare for his First Communion. Also the Superior of the Convent asked if, when the church is finished, they could not keep the Blessed Sacrament. The convent is so near they have only to cross the street. If they had a great number of boarders and Sisters perhaps the Blessed Sacrament could remain there more fittingly. The Sisters at Opelousas went to the church. The church has had the first coat of plaster; Follot hopes to say Mass there in a month and a half or two. He asks Blanc to give him an answer to this letter and to the one he sent by Mr. Hebert. :: VI-2-c A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
