Blin, Sister St. Arsène, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 November 6

She has lately learned of Blanc's return to New Orleans. On October 22, Father Napoleon Joseph Perché announced that the Mother Superior would not go to Texas as in charge of the foundation but only if necessary to install those appointed there. St. Arsène and several Sisters were to be in charge. Her joy at getting a small corner of the Lord's vineyard was well tempered by the responsibility. She asks if Blanc knows about this and if he authorized it. A week later the Mother Superior confirmed all that had been told St. Arsène before. Everything seems favorable to the carrying out of this work. Her last message should have reached Blanc October 22. On the address side of the letter in Blanc's hand: Father Nicolas Jung of the Diocese of Strasburg. :: V-5-f A.L.S. French 4pp. 4to.
