Ladavière, S.J., Father A. Pierre, St. Michael, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 February 8

Some time ago Mr. Delpuech of Donaldson wrote Ladavière that on Blanc's last trip he had seen Delpuech's nephew and said that he could come to spend some time at St. Michael to prepare to enter the seminary. Ladavière asks Blanc to tell him if Delpuech should send the nephew. Father John Boullier, C.M. speaks very favorably of the boy. Does Blanc remember a box containing a portrait and some letters, being sent to Louisiana from Canada or confided by Father Louis Boué ? to someone? Dr. Hache of Opelousas claims this box and has asked Father J. Francis Abbadie to write Ladaviére about it. If Blanc has it he is to give it to Father Joseph Soller, S.J. who will give it to Abbadie who will see that Hache gets it. Nothing new at St. Michael; catechism is going well. Ladavière sends the respects of the Ladies of the Sacred Heart and of Father J.M. Lefranc :: V-5-e A.L.S. French 3pp. rto.
