Herval, Father E., Havre de Grace, France, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1844 October 20

Mr. Thelon of Angers has spent two months at Havre; he decided to find a job in primary education but has failed to find one. Herval gave him a letter of recommendation but Blanc is to regard it as null. Thelon is an honest man but he has no education and is not a practical Christian. Herval depends on the kindness of the bearer of this letter for news of Blanc. They have a new archbishop, Archbishop Louis Edmund Blanquart of Bailleul, former bishop of Versailles. He is an excellent man. He is indebted to the 1830 government but has not enchained his liberty; he does not hesitate to state his convictions and complaints on the university question. :: V-5-b A.L.S. French 4pp. 8vo.
