Scope and Contents Coste is a seminarian at Puy-en-Velay with the desire to devote himself to the missions of America. One of Coste's fellow students, Vincent Deville, who was to go to swell Blanc's group, has been prevented for several reasons. Perhaps Coste could take his place. Coste believes the Superior of the seminary of Puy could obtain his exeat from Bishop de Morlhon.

Scope and Contents He thanks Rousselon for having sent him to Father A. Langlois who has an excellent heart. He wonders if there is not some hope of being employed at a Redemptorist house.

If not, he asks Rousselon to open the door for him in another diocese. He prefers a post situated amidst a group of...

He is to return in a month and a half and plans to leave for Europe, probably settling at Rome. They would have liked to have greeted him personally when he arrived at New York.

Scope and Contents Coudrain was happy to receive Rousselon's letter. He is saddened by the levity his letter demonstrated but he is inspired with new courage.
