Ladavière, S.J., Father A. Pierre, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1841 October 13

It is probably the sickness which has deprived them of seeing Blanc as they had hoped; will they see him before All Saints? If he must delay longer Ladavière asks him to tell him if he thinks it proper to repaint the wood of the steeple. The Convent should have the pews of the church painted; that was the agreement and Madame Louisa Leveque, R.S.C.will have them painted right after All Saints. The priests are passably busy. There is no sickness there. The Ladies at the Convent are as usual. Their invitations did not come until several days after the festival; the post is disgustingly uncertain. :: V-4-l A.L.S.
