Lecomte, A., Natchitoches, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 April 5

Blanc's letters to Father Joseph Giustiniani, C.M. , one dated March 15, and others, were communicated to them. The undersigned, a committee named by the subscribers to the Convent, beg Blanc to write to the Superior of the Sisters of Charity to ask for Sisters for this establishment. Could they obtain 3 or 4 to teach English and French, they would suffice in the beginning. They could not be so certain of success were it conducted by any others but the Sisters of Charity; however in case of impossibility, they submit to Blanc's judgment. Signed by: Lecomte, W.Y.
