Boullier, C.M. Father John On board the St. Paul, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1847 October 20

Tired of waiting for a boat at Donaldsonville, Boullier came down to New Orleans but the F.M. Streck arrived just in time for him to take the St. Paul and he did not have time to see Blanc. He brought with him the plan of the hospital in case Blanc saw Mr. Rice before Boullier's return which will not be later than a month or so. He also brought $61 for Mr. Matton for different articles the ladies of Donaldsonville have bought for the church. If Blanc has not sent Father John Timon 's 50 piastres Boullier will give them to him at St. Louis if Blanc will give Matton the same amount. Father Anthony Andrieux, C.M. has been at Donaldson since Sunday; he will take care of the Sisters of Charity . They are well and their school is almost as large as before. Boullier received Blanc's letter last Sunday. :: V-5-h A.L.S. French 2pp. folio
