Aliquot, Jeanne Marie, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, to Father Stephen Rousselon, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1865 November 15

She informs Rousselon about an abuse. A young girl about 15 was taken to the pastor of Bouligny to make her First Communion. He instructed her; after 2 weeks he sent her back. She went to Father Claude Anthony Tholomier who gave her Communion. Mrs. Harang?, whose house is 3 miles from Miss Camille's, told this a few days ago. Her daughters wanted to go to Tholomier; their mother said that they could not. Mrs. Fasin who lives on the other side told Aliquot that Tholomier said her daughter was to receive First Communion the next time. Mrs. Fasin said she could not permit it. Mrs. Eron told Mrs. Fasin that she had nothing to do with it. A reliable person said that Tholomier sold his prayers, that he is paid $16 a month by Mrs. Eron. It is said that he makes 80 piastres a month. ` P.S. If Aliquot had known at the age of 15 or 20 what she speaks now, she would never have had the happiness of taking up the work which constitutes her joy. :: VI-2-j A.L.S. French 2pp. Folio
