Boudreaux, S.J., Father J.I., St. Charles College, Grand Coteau, Louisiana to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 September 28

Young Budd John Budd? will not come to New Orleans as soon as Blanc wishes, being retained by his father's illness. He has just decided the matter of his vocation with his confessor. Mr. Budd is delighted to see his son called to the priesthood, but having a large family, he will be able to furnish only his clothes. Boudreaux hopes that Blanc will be satisfied with this young man. He has been persecuted a little by his friends, and Mr. Lewis, at whose house Mr. Budd is the steward, did everything he could to prevent his letting his son leave. The number of students is always increasing; they have 88, of which only 6 are day scholars. V-5-d - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. - 4to. - {4}
