Hailandière Bishop Celestin René, Vincennes, Indiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 June 27

Hailandière received Blanc's letter; he would have replied sooner but he was waiting for a letter which Blanc said was coming from his vicar general and was to contain the note of the advances he had made. This letter has never come. If the vicar general is in France, Hailandière may no longer be here when he returns; he asks Blanc to send the note. He has yet to receive a word from Rome about his affair. On the back of the letter in Blanc's hand: $20 received from Father Gilles, Vicar General of Vincennes. :: V-5-g A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
