Boullier, C.M., Father John, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1844 December 17

Boullier received Blanc's letter Sunday in which he countermanded the order to come down to the city since the Sisters of Charity are not to come up until after Christmas. They have six beds ready and 3 or 4 other bedsteads which could be fixed if there were more. Boullier talked to Mr. Lagrave about the monument Blanc wants to have put up in the cemetery. He told Lagrave to take his architect to Blanc if Blanc will be kind enough to show him the plan of the building Blanc proposes to build for the Sisters. At the mouth of the Arkansas there is a mill belonging to Mr. Russel who could supply the large lumber cheaply. He is a good friend of Mr. Rightor of Donaldsonville. Boullier could ask him to write to Russel. :: V-5-b A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
