Abbadie, S.J., Father Francis, Grand Coteau, Louisiana, 1848 February 7

Abbadie has not had time to inform Blanc of their troubles of January 29 and 30. All has been taken care of. In December Abbadie asked Father Anthony Désiré Mégret to be ready by January 15; on January 19 or 20, greatly in need of money, Abbadie was at Lafayette to ask Mégret to repay at least the $400 Abbadie had loaned him. He promised to come at the end of the month; Abbadie is still waiting for him. Abbadie asks Blanc to put at the disposition of Father John Baptist Maisounabe, S.J., if he needs it, the balance of this account, $295.50. Among the items owed to the Bishop is listed $4.50 for the Propagateur Caholique for Widow Latiolais A.L. French :: V-5-i A.L.S., A.L. French 4pp. 8vo.
