Ladavière, S.J., Father A. Pierre, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1841 August 19

It was impossible to see Aristide? Le Bourgeois? or to get an answer. Bourgeois himself is waiting for an answer from the Citizen's Bank to make arrangements for easy terms in case he buys it all, and in case he does that he was not inclined to give up anything except under exorbitant conditions. Blanc is to tell Ladavière what he wants him to do. The sale will take place on Thursday. The land and the slaves are to be sold in a single lot. If Blanc's man, Mr. Anderson, still wants to take the slaves for himself it will be the only good part of it. People have already asked about renting the houses and stores., P.S. The sale is August 22. His lines suffer a little from the fever which is a rather faithful companion. :: V-4-l A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
