Hailandière, Bishop Celestin de la, Vincennes, Indiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 March 6

It was only if someone failed to send it from France, that Hailandiere would ask Blanc to send a barrel of red wine and two of white. However, since Blanc is so willing Hailandière would be obliged if he would. He would also like a hamper of olive oil and some sugar which will bring his expenditures up to $100 which he will send with Father Auguste Martin . Blanc sees priests of Hailandière's diocese come and go; he does not send them. He finds the price of the orders not too dear. P.S. He has learned of the death of Miss Bernard ; she was a really pious girl and Sister Regina Smith, S.C . can attribute her refusal of the Sacraments to her insanity alone. :: V-5-e A.L.S.
