Lorretta, S.C. Sister M., Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 November 24

It will be better to say nothing to that person until Lorretta's letter to Sister Francis Regis will be read to her. Lorretta told her she could remain in New Orleans until next Saturday week which will give time for a letter to come from home. When all comes to light she can blame no one but her "confidential" confessor as she remarked in her 14 pages that Father John Boullier, C.M. had not her confidence as Father D. had. Lorretta wrote to Sister Regina Smith, S.C. yesterday enclosing one to Sister Regis to be read to her at a prudent time. Blanc is not to allow her to return. When he comes to St. Michael's distribution it will do for them. She hopes never to have another with three vocations, an Ursuline, a Sister of Charity, and a Sister of Mercy. Miss Fahy is in her retreat and an excellent person; her sister is a baby in comparison. Boullier will go down next week. :: V-5-f A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
