Gallwey, R.S.H.J., Madame J., St. Michael's, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 February 21

She received Blanc's letter of the 13th. Father A. Pierre Ladaviere, S.J. communicated to her the decision of the Ursulines with respect to Charles. She regrets it as the negroes are reluctant to be sold to a planter. The two offers Gall way had: one has purchased elsewhere, the other, Mrs. Parr, died this week. Gallwey is pleased to accede to Blanc's wishes for Miss Marye ; the usual amount exclusive of the physicians's fee is $209 per year. They will be satisfied with $150. Her last letter from Mother Maria Cutts R.S.H.J. informs her that the measles prevail; it does not seem to have produced such a panic as theirs. Probably Mother Cutts will be here next week with her colony for Natchitoches. They have 95 children; all unite in regards. On the letter in Blanc's hand Daniel Shay :: V-5-g A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
