Chanche, Bishop John Joseph, Natchez, Mississippi, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 August 26

Chanche received the Archbishop's letter with the announcement of the next Council May 10. Chanche has nothing important for his diocese. Chanche hopes Father Joseph Soller has not been taken from Blanc; he is glad to learn that New Orleans continues healthy. Chanche's town and neighborhood continue to be very healthy but he had another attack last week; he is well again. A Mr. Barry, schoolmaster, deprived of scholars since the establishment of a public school, understood there was likely to be a vacancy in Blanc's Charity School by the resignation of Mr. Latham . Chanche recommends Barry, who is 45, without family and with good testimonials as a teacher. Chanche received a letter yesterday from Bishop John Baptist Purcell . He has been quite sick. Purcell says he expects to bless his Cathedral some time between October 1 and November 1. They hear nothing of Bishop John Odin . Has Blanc received any letters from him? :: V-5-d A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
