Chanche, Bishop John Joseph, Natchez, Mississippi, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1846 December 31

It is not in his power to be in New Orleans by the 8th. He was very anxious to see Bishops Odin and Portier. Chanche's niece, Joanna Edwards, who has been spending some days in New Orleans at Mr. Shute 's will return to Natchez on the Magnolia next Sunday. Blanc is to send an ordo by her and a Catholic Almanac or two. Father Flavius Rossi stopped day before yesterday on his way to St. Louis. He came up to see the church and the boat left him. Chanche supplied him with enough money to pay his passage on another boat. What has become of that Mr. Duplessi who was in Natchez when Blanc was there? He took Chanche in for $10 also. :: V-5-f A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
