Le Cozic, Father Hyacinthe Marie, Bonfouca, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M., New Orleans, Louisiana, 1864 June 6

Le Cozic regrets that Odin cannot send someone to share the work but living is so difficult now that perhaps it will be better to wait. On the 5th he had First Communion at Bonfouca. There were only 5 but next year they count on 20. Now he is going to Mandeville and from there to Covington. On the way he will visit the Catholic places in the pinewoods. He has seen Father Adrien Rouquette, who is well. Dominique Rouquette has asked Le Cozic to give Father Rousselon an order of a Confederate bishop; Le Cozic asks Odin to give it to Rousselon with Le Cozic's respects both to him and to Father Chalon. Odin can send any commissions for Le Cozic at Bonfouca by the captain of the schooner who will call at the archbishopric from time to time. :: VI-2-h A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo.
