Lorretta, S.C., Sister M., Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 June 12

Blanc's letter of the 10th was received. Removing Sister M. Margaret? back to the Hospital would be out of the question. Mother wrote that they would be obliged to remove Sister Isadore . Lorretta wrote on the 29th that it would be impossible for Sister Francis Regis, S.C. to do without a good school Sister. There are none at the Hospital but Sister Clotilda? that would be able to teach. Regis could lend her until another comes. They Sisters of Charity are all very much pleased with the name Blanc gave their little chapel. Perhaps the priest here will not like to say Mass unless Blanc writes. They are painting the chapel and the last coat of plastering is going on. School is doing pretty well; Sister M. Austin, S.C . is all zeal. P.S. Sister Gonzaga, S.C . dislikes this place as much as Isadore does New Orleans. The north and south missions are different. :: V-5-c A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
