Scope and Contents Aliquot has been thinking it over for 17 days. The Visitation Sisters are satisfied with her; she is infinitely more satisfied with them. The rule is light and easy for her. There is only one thing that bothers her and if Blanc says to go in she will take the habit immediately; if he tells her to leave, she will leave. She has this strong inclination to do as she has done outside the convent and living under a Superior would make her suffer. The Sisters told her to write to Blanc; Aliquot...

Scope and Contents Aliquot wrote Bishop Anthony Blanc a week ago to ask him what to do about her vocation. The Sisters of the Visitation have told her that a priest must decide for her. There is so much charity and support here but one thing makes her afraid. It is the urge to continue to teach as she has been doing, which is stronger than the desire to remain here. It gives her pain to leave those poor unfortunate ones who come from so far to learn to pray. At 25 she should have done what she is doing. The...

Scope and Contents She is embarrassed at not having been to the city for so long a time. Not having seen Rousselon she has said nothing to their pastor, Father F. Zeller ? for fear he would decide to leave them. It would be difficult to replace him; he preaches in three languages; he settles affairs where others could not. If he thought a small church should be built on this bank, it would soon be done. He told Aliquot about a month ago that he had $1000. He has masons and carpenters who will work without pay,...

Scope and Contents 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...

Scope and Contents Aliquot wishes to help the daughters of the late Mr. Buron. If the Ladies of St. Claude (SIsters of Mount Carmel) can lend her something, she needs $1500 to buy their freedom. They are trained in Aliquot's kind of work and God has given them the piety to do it. If the Ladies of St. Claude cannot do it, Aliquot asks Rousselon to do it. P.S. If Rousselon writes to Father Ve. Modeste Mina, he is to put in a word for her. They have agreed with the executor that they will have the money for the...

Scope and Contents Aliquot asks Rousselon to talk to Father Ve. Modeste Mina about her and to ask him whether he believes God is glorified in what she did under his direction. She could send someone in her place to Bonnet Carré. There are several white boys around 12 years old who wish instructions to make their First Communion. Perhaps Mina will say that the Negroes are not consistent but they have not been instructed enough. Here they are better instructed and they persevere. This holy man has more than he...

Scope and Contents Joseph Cavalier told her yesterday that he is advised every day not to have the future church built on his land. He has so many heirs and he would never be satisfied with what? Father F. Zeller would have built. It has been a long time since he talked to masons and carpenters about working without remuneration. Since Zeller chose a site, Aliquot has tried to excuse Zeller as well as she can. When she wrote her last note last Friday, Mrs. Waggaman Wauggamen was in the city; Aliquot believes...

Scope and Contents Father F. Zeller has just told her that he fears disputes between the Messrs. Cavalier and Mrs. Waggaman Wauggamen if the church is not built at her place. She is already in a law suit with Joseph Cavalier about a slave at Baton Rouge. The Drouet Family, the richest and most numerous family, as well as the Cavaliers, have said that they would be satisfied with a very small church. One of the Drouet ladies thought she was imposed on by the Wauggamen family. When asked why Mrs. Edward Drouet...

Scope and Contents Yesterday, the feast of the Ascension, Aliquot wrote Rousselon a note in which she said that if Father F. Zeller knew the facts he would perhaps no longer come to say Mass here. They are the remarks made unjustly about their pastor in Mrs. Waggaman 's Wauggamen house by her family, that Zeller should not have given a negress a ride in his carriage and that he was unmannerly at table. Aliquot expressed herself badly yesterday. P.S. The Commissioner left a jar of preserves at Rousselon's for...

Scope and Contents She asks Rousselon to let Father Napoleon Joseph Perché know that if he will send the papers to be signed for Annette and her daughters, Mr. Silicour has two opportunities a week to send them to her. If Rousselon could have influenced the Indian missionary to spend 6 more months here, he would have received from the people what he wished, to have a church built Father F. Zeller told Aliquot last Sunday that it is a good land, not to leave; to pay no attention to his illness. The people would...

Scope and Contents Odin's letter of November 16 reached Alizeri day before yesterday. The kept P.? Kelly at the Cape quite a long time because it was very difficult to decide whether he had enough talent for the priesthood. His piety and zeal made it a very delicate question.
