Lecomte, Laura Nazareth Academy, Bardstown, Kentucky, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 April 29

The reception of a letter from blanc dated January 15 was a source of infinite pleasure to her. She has been much engaged in her studies for the last two months and they were privately examined by Father James M.? Lancaster . Laura heard that Pa had gone to New Orleans and that she should see him by the middle of next month. As she is to return home with him, she hopes she will see Blanc as she passes by New Orleans. Last Sunday Atala, Clothilde, Laura and 7 other girls took a walk to Cedar Grove. Laura is thankful to Blanc for all the good advice he has given her. She sends her love to Mother Seraphine. Sister Dorothea Villeneuve, S. C. is always very kind. Ursula A. Lecomte adds a note on this letter to ask Blanc to write often. :: V-5-g A.L.S. 4pp. 4to.
