Hoste, Father Lewis, Nashville, Tennessee, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1841 October 6

His health restored, Hoste is at last able to carry out the plan of which he talked to Blanc at Lyons; he is in America. He has never lost the desire to rejoin Blanc. Although he told Cardinal Louis Jacques Maurice de Bonald of the agreement made with Blanc, Bonald decided to send him to Nashville where the needs are greater and whose Bishop Richard Pius Miles was then in Europe. He arrived several weeks ago having accompanied Miles from Belgium. He is very happy there and is learning English. He sends this slight proof of his remembrance of Blanc's goodness toward him. :: V-4-l A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
