Deparcq, Father D.A., Loretto, Kentucky, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 August 16

Deparcq received Blanc's letter to Sister Eulalia Kelly wherein Blanc stated that the difficulty between her and Father Joseph Richard Bole had been settled. The obligation of one Mass for Richard Bole annually will be complied with. The case of those Sisters of Loretto in Arkansas has been a very hard one. They went thither from the Missouri; Loretto had never been consulted and had no hand in making those debts. Therefore Bishop Guy Ignatius Chabrat was unwilling that the Sisters in Kentucky should pay. P.S. Deparcq has charge, besides the charge of Loretto and all the different Communities, of two congregations, Holy Cross and St. Vincent's. If he could get an assistant he might be able to visit Blanc next winter. He sends respects to Richard Bole and Father Maenhaut. :: V-5-h A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
