Chevailler?, Charles, Nacogdoches, Texas, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 September 17

Mr. Timm Father John Timon, C.M.? in 1841 gave Chevailler a draft on Blanc for 100 piastres to be used in building a chapel. Seeing there were no means Chevailler withdrew? the draft in 1843. Now circumstances are changed. The Bishop John Mary Odin, C.M. of this diocese has sent two young priests so the 100 piastres will be needed for the chapel. Chevailler is going to advance it and draw on Blanc. Chevailler is the person from whom Blanc bought a words undecipherable at Baton Rouge in 1832. Father Hector Figari, C.M. , the pastor, told him some time ago that he would do well to write to Blanc about families with good recommendations who would like to come to Texas. Chevailler needs two servants; if any present themselves to Blanc, Chevailler would employ them. He has asked? Fathers Claude M.? Chambodut and Anthony Chanrion to ask Blanc to send them a bell for their chapel. :: V-5-h A.L.S. French 2pp. 4to.
