Gutton, Father Philibert, Pointe Coupé, Fausse Riviere, Louisiana, to Archbishop John Mary Odin, C.M, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1866 July 8

Gutton gives an account of the receipts of the parish since the first of January. The cemetery is now ready. The fences are solid. A drainage ditch runs all around it, 21 arpents in all. The receipts of the church were $759, those of the cemetery, $206. The expenditures for the cemetery were $482.40 leaving a balance of $482.60. He sees no way of repairing the church; in time there will be the third note which will also demand sacrifice. :: VI-2-l A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
