Ivers, Father William, Alexandria, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 June 4

In consequence of a conversation Ivers had with Judge Boyce about the letter Ivers wrote him about this mission, Ivers requests Blanc to send him a letter of permission to quit Alexandria. Perhaps six months is too short to expect a testimonial. He would like another mission under Blanc from whom he has received more kindness than from any other bishop since he left Bishop Crotty. This mission will not support a priest. P.S. If Blanc prefers to give Ivers a mission he will go directly. Having no means of travel he will have to ride to Father Corry's residence. :: V-5-c A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
