Having learned that Thomas Barrett of New Orleans has just been appointed Customs Collector and that he is a friend of Blanc, Laplace asks Blanc to give his support to Laplace to obtain the post of Deputy Collector at Natchitoches. The knowledge Laplace has of Texas and of this part of Louisiana makes him believe that he could carry out the duties. The bank failures have wiped out a fortune and the work of ten years. He is sending Barrett a petition signed by the most prominent people here and well known in New Orleans. :: V-5-a A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
