Oakley, S.J., Father Maurice, Grand Coteau, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 June 17

The distribution of prizes will take place on July 14. They ask Blanc to be present. The exams will be from the 8th to the 11th and will be public. The exams for Adelard Jourdan and Henry d'Aquin will be the first day. If Blanc wishes to have Confirmation he is to let Oakley know soon; there are about 30 students to be confirmed. Everything is going very well at St. Charles College even though there are 104 now instead of 28 or 30. P.S. Oakley has just received a letter from Father George A. Carrell of St. Louis telling that he had sent Alfred Kernion two diplomas for St. Charles. Oakley fears Kernion will be too slow and asks Blanc to get the diplomas and see that Oakley gets them or have them given to Mr. Hall, their agent. :: V-5-e A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
