Hailandière, Bishop Célestin de la, Vincennes, Indiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1844 June 12

He has decided at last to ask for a coadjutor; his letter has left for Rome. The names he proposes are the following: 1.Father Martin John Spalding, pastor of Bardstown; 2. Father Charles Ignatius White, pastor of the Cathedral of Baltimore; 3. Father George J. Goodwin Goodwine, priest of the Boston diocese. Hailandière would like the first one; what they said about him at the council has been withdrawn. Blanc is to write to Rome; it will be a new occasion for pressing the reply to Blanc's own request. P.S. Should Hailandière give Bishop John Mary Odin a general invitation? If so, Blanc is to do so in Hailandière's name; he does not know Odin's address. :: V-5-a A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
