Elet, S.J., Father John Anthony St. Xavier College, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 December 12

Elet cannot let Father John B. Duerinck go without a few words to Blanc. He is held here for the seventh year. He has many consolations for they do not lack good students. On December 3 their Bishop gave Holy Communion to 82. Peter Cheri Noguez is an example of sincere piety; he is solid and modest. He does very well in his studies, except in Greek. It would be better for him to study German instead of French. Duerinck will tell Blanc the rest. Enclosed is a bulletin on Nogues' studies at St. Xavier College. :: V-5-f A.L.S. French 3pp. 12mo. 4to.
