Clotilda, S.C., Sister, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 October 6

Blanc's kind letter was handed to her before she was able to read it. It gave her renewed courage in the difficulties of the last 18 days. Last Thursday Sister Reine, S.C. was taken sick; she is to be anointed this evening. Sister Rosina, S.C. is quite sick; she has not had one night's rest since Sister Mary Margaret, S.C. was taken sick. Sister Margaret recovers but slowly. Malvina Monaghan is gaining her strength very fast. Father Auguste Martin has been truly kind to them. P.S. October 7, Sister Reine has just expired. :: V-5-h A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
