Carondelet, January 6, 1839
Right Reverend Joseph Rosati
Monseigneur:
Your Lordship will please be kind enough to excuse my tardiness in executing your orders. I come today to acquit myself by giving the number of children whom we have received in your school for the year 1838.
Boarders: nine
Day pupils: thirty-eight
Orphans: two
I profit by this occasion to beg Your Lordship to be so kind as to give the permission for us to go to Cahokia to visit our Sisters and from there we will go to see Mr. Bourginon, who owes us nearly $60.00 for the board of his daughter. We have written him several times but have received no answer. I think that our presence will oblige him to pay us. I leave it all to your decision.
Receive, Your Lordship, the sincere homage of one who has the honor to be
Your obedient daughter
Sister Marie Delphine [Fontbonne]
