Scope and Contents

Poidebord received Blanc's letter of May 10 and the 11,216 francs from Blanc's vicar general Father Stephen Rousselon . He cannot lose on the notes at 8 percent as Pargout did to his family. Poidebord will leave half the capital for Blanc to place as best he can and he will take the other half. Poidebord sees that the attorney did not present the truth in court and Poidebord's attorney said nothing. If Poidebord had been in New Orleans he would have had recourse to the Minister of Justice to prevent this irregularity as he did at St. Etienne for his life annuity. P.S. It is only the property at La Fourche which is settled?. He knows there is other property to sell. He will send Blanc a bond to begin with and send another later. He will find the bond for 20,000 francs enclosed. A.L.S. Enclosure:
