Frain, Father Celestin M., New Orleans, Louisiana, to Archbishop Napoleon Joseph Perché, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1882 August 30

Frain understands through Father Healy that Perché was surprised not to receive a letter from Frain. He would have written if he had thought Perché would attribute his silence to a lack of attachment. Frain received only two letters he would have communicated had Perché's health permitted. One letter was from Father J. Hilliard ; Perché knows the motive. The other was from the vicar general of Grenoble in behalf of a family of Lyons who had loaned a considerable sum to the diocese and who were worried about it. Frain replied that a change in the temporal administration of New Orleans could cause a delay in payment but that he believed there would be no difficulty in honoring its obligations. Frain is a little worn out by his first summer in New Orleans. :: VI-3-d A.L.S. French 4pp. 12mo.
