Chanche Bishop John Joseph, Natchez, Mississippi, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 April 10

Chanche sends and extract from one of their papers no enclosure; it will amuse Blanc. In his last letter, Chanche requested Blanc to let him know whether customs had been willing to relinquish the duties on the picture. Chanche has not yet announced the Jubilee for his diocese. Father William A. Blenkinsop was absent the greater part of Lent; he is absent again for a while. Could Blanc send some one up to help them. Chanche is thinking of going down to see Blanc; he intends spending a few days with the governor on the coast about the beginning of May. Perhaps Blanc will be at St. Michael's. No news yet from Rome; they will have to send an ambassador. :: V-5-g A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
