Scope and Contents

A few days ago Chanche received the Bulls appointing him Bishop of Natchez. His spiritual advisers think he cannot refuse. At his age and with his sedentary habits to leave a northern climate to go to a southern one cannot but prove detrimental. However he must go and he will. His friends have appointed March 14 as the day of his consecration. His future steps will depend a great deal on Blanc's advice. Should he go to Natchez this spring; would it not be exposing himself too much in the climate? He asks Blanc to give him all the information he can. :: V-4-l A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
