Leonard, J.?, Plaquemines, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1843 October 20

The pastor Blanc had given them, Father Baron D'Aurange? D'Auragne died October 18. He was buried yesterday by Father John Caretta, pastor of St. Bernard. He was buried where he had told them he wished to be, on a mound supposed to have been made by the Indians. He is sincerely regretted by all. They hope soon to have a church built in their parish and a pastor. :: V-4-o A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
