Abbadie, S.J., Father J. Francis St. Charles College, Grand Coteau, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 February 24

If Blanc approves of the change Abbadie has already made, he will ask permission to make another. Instead of Father Ministre, he has sent Father Joseph Soller, S.J. to the convent and after First Communion he would like to replace Father Florian Joseph Sautois, S.J. either by Soller or Father Anthony Parret, S.J. . Abbadie himself would be the extraordinary confessor for the Sisters. At the college, the students seem to have recovered from the excitement caused by the four leaving for town. It remains to be seen what the effect outside will be of the letters they wrote. For the 22nd, their orators never had so numerous an audience; their speeches were judged so favorably that they have asked to have them printed. :: V-5-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
