Jan, Father Ange Marie Felix, St. Martinville, Louisiana, to Father Gilbert Raymond, Opelousas, Louisiana, 1863 August 29

Jan is in a situation as embarrassing as it is difficult. A pastor of his district Father Charles Brun?, who has always been known to drink very much, delivered himself completely to his passion. Jan has spoken to him and has written to him, but it has been completely useless. Last Sunday it was necessary for some soldiers to intervene; they seized him and made him return to the priest house. Jan wonders what he should do. ` P.S. This deplorable scene is an exact repetition of one given by the same author on last November 9. :: VI-2-g A.L.S. French 1p. 4to.
