Lorretta, S.C., Sister, Donaldsonville, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 October 19

All here want them to teach music. If they do not they will send them to another school. If this could be obtained from Home it would help their poor little mission very much. They have novices here who understand it. As Mother Etienne Hall, S.C. is always so willing to grant all Blanc asks, Lorretta asks him to propose it to her. At present all are well but Lorretta does not think all is over. She received a letter from Father Deluol yesterday; he hopes the yellow fever passed them by but by this time he knows better. Father John Boullier, C.M. leaves tomorrow for New Orleans. Sister wishes Father John Timon had been made bishop three years ago.
