Leveque, J.A., West Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1842 December 16

Leveque writes to inform Blanc about the affairs which Father Joseph Evrard left in his hands. He has collected only 15 piastres of the little accounts which he left with him. He sold Evrard's horse for 35 piastres which Leveque will bring to Blanc in January. Mr. Dousau promised to pay, in a short time, the note for 100 piastres which he endorsed for Mrs. Patin? whose business he manages. At Evrard's request Leveque sends Blanc his books; Evrard thought Blanc could get them to him. Blanc is to send on the endorsed letter no enclosure, putting on the rest of the address. On the address side of the letter "Care of Eli Landry." :: V-4-m A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
