Chanche, Father John J., St. Mary's College,, Baltimore, Maryland, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1840 November 4

Chanche sends this by Mrs. Waggaman who leaves next Saturday. She has procured everything for an altar and hopes Blanc will sometimes let them have Mass. Mr. Waggaman is preparing to build a church big enough for the whole neighborhood. Meanwhile Mrs. Waggaman has prepared a large room in her house for services. Could not Father Peter Vincent Plunkett begin his ministry in a budding parish? The Archbishop told them that Father Auguste Jeanjean was very ill. They hope he is entirely recovered. :: V-4-k A.L.S.
