Elet, S.J., Father John Anthony St. Xavier College, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 June?

Elet received Blanc's letter of May 30. The reasons Blanc gives for discontinuing to pay Peter Cheri Noguès' expenses anywhere except in the seminary at La Fourche admits of no reply. Elet is sorry for what Blanc's diocese will lose if Noguès decides to apply to some other bishop. Bishop John Baptist Purcell would receive him with open arms. Noguès is solidly virtuous, with much talent for preaching. Fathers Francis X. D'hoop, S.J. and Francis X. Kalcher, S. J. are installed at Chillicothe where Purcell desires that they start another college. This letter is written on Elet's report of Noguès' scholastic record for March, April, May. :: V-5-g A.L.S.
