Mullon, Father James Ignatius, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 May 6

Mullon fears that Blanc has misconceived the import of his remarks. He does not know Father Simon A. Paris but he was told that he might be much more exact than he had been at St. Louis. Since Mullon has been so very unfortunate in his colleagues in St. Patrick's he has the greatest solicitude to procure one now who should be all that Blanc himself could desire. They have had Father J.? Walsh, Father Victor Jouanneault, Father James? Conway and the edifying Father Peter Vincent Plunkett, only one since Mullon's return from Europe who was the true priest. Father William Ivers and Mullon would do the duties until Blanc sends Father John Flanagan Flanigan whom Blanc proposed. As Blanc ordained him and knows him, Mullon has the fullest confidence in him. To send someone for a short time would only create new difficulties. Whatever Blanc does, should it not even be agreeable to Mullon, Blanc will meet with submission. :: V-5-g A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
