Boullier, C.M. Father John, Donaldsonville, louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1844 September 6

On receipt of Blanc's letter of the 3rd Boullier got busy to find a house for the Sisters of Charity . He found one on the church land which they could have the first of October either to rent or to buy; it would be comprised in the 7 arpents which is to be given them and it would have an outlet on two roads according to the enclosed plan no enclosure. Sister Regina Smith, S.C. has seen the house and she thinks it would do until they could build. The price is 446 piastres. Mr. Israel will pay the passage of a child around 10 or 12 if Blanc will send him one. Boullier sends enclosed no enclosure two letters from Father Bonaventure Armengol . Armengol left Paris August 6 for Spain where he was to embark for Mexico. Boullier learned from a young man who arrived yesterday from St. Louis that Father John Timon, C.M.'s eyes were very bad and that they feared for his sight. Father Joachim Alabau, C.M. has had a serious illness but it out of danger. Last Sunday Boullier saw Mr. Key, brother-in-law of Mr . Johnson ? Jhonson who said they already had a thousand piastres in subscriptions for their little chapel. If Blanc will authorize it Boullier could go to see the land they propose to give, draw the sale up in Blanc's name, etc. :: V-5-b A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
