Enaut, Father Ludovic, Monroe, Louisiana, to Bishop Francis Xavier Leray, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1880 November 8

Enaut was detained longer than expected and came hom just in time to see Father C. Mahé start on a distant sick call. Among the letters waiting for him was one from the mayor of Lake Providence stating that, instead of keeping the $50, by mistake he gave it to the clerk of the boat that took Mrs. Louby to New Orleans. If the clerk remitted it to the Little Sisters of the Poor Leray would not have had to pay the order given by Enaut. He hopes everything will come out all right. He will in a few days send the accounts concerning Father Joseph Mary Quèlard . He was sick exactly 3 months at Vicksburg. Father H. Oberfeld gave him a shelter, some attention and furnished the gas. Outside of that Quèlard was no burden to any great extent to Oberfeld. His meals were brought from town. Thus, in offering compensation to Oberfeld, Leray may acknowledge his kindness but not be under the false impression that he was at much expense. :: VI-3-b A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
