Enaut, Father Ludovic, Vicksburg, Mississippi, to Bishop Francis Xavier Leray, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1880 October 6

For the last six days he has been watching by the bedside of Father Joseph Mary Quèlard who is not expected to survive but a few days. He will take his remains to Monroe. He has received $50 from Father P. Felix Dicharry for Quèlard. The Catholics of Vicksburg are very generous. He has collected at Lake Providence, Milliken's Bend, and Monroe; he has borrowed money and he will do everything to soothe the affliction. He will give him a decent burial. Father C. Mahé left for Monroe yesterday and today he is traveling to a wedding. He congratulates Leray on his safe return. :: VI-3-b A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
