Brassac, Father Hercule, Paris, France, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 May 8

Brassac does not recall whether he acknowledged receipt of Blanc's last letter containing a draft on Mr. Choiselat for 2000 francs to pay to the heirs of the late Father Auguste Jeanjean . He had no little trouble in obtaining a receipt of which he encloses a copy no enclosure. He had received a letter from Mr. Baugeuil accusing Blanc of turning to his own profit the funds left by his brother-in-law. Brassac has been in Paris for 2 weeks; he leaves next week to return to Marvejols and his father. If Blanc comes to France after the council it would be very nice if he and the Bishop of Natchez would spend a few days with their old friend. This letter will be brought by Narcisse Landry who is waiting for a boat to leave for New Orleans, with his wife and little daughter born January 1. His son and young wife will not follow them yet, the young wife's health does not permit her to travel. :: V-5-e A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
