Leblanc, S.P., Thibodeauxville, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 March 24

Father Charles Henry Boutelou de St. Aubin has just notified the trustees of St. Joseph Church that he will not remain as pastor this year and so can make no other arrangements with them than those made last year. They agreed, but the revenue will be less this year and it will be impossible to give the pastor the same amount as the preceding year. The pews brought only $800. They can make no definite arrangements without Blanc's orders as they remember well that Blanc told the two members who were sent to him several months ago that the arrangements were to be made with Blanc. :: V-5-c A.L.S.
