Choiselat Gallien, J., Paris, France, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1845 October 29

He acknowledges Blanc's letters of May 26 and August 17. The first was given him September 1 by Father Julien Priour with the 12 doubloons. He cashed it and it made 982 francs. He notified Father D. Armand who drew on him for 952 francs and for the other 30 francs took a subscription to L'Ami de la Religion. He sympathizes with Blanc and his troubles, especially concerning St. Patrick's . It will no doubt be difficult to apply part of his allocation there. In his letter of June 19, there remained in Blanc's favor a balance of 4795 francs 60 centimes?. Since then he has paid a draft on. Blanc for 4000 francs. To the remainder he will add 12,000, part of the 1845 allocation so the balance is 12795 and 60. Blanc may draw this sum, at 30 days, during next January. He signs as treasurer of the Assocition of the Propagation of the Faith :: V-5-d A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
