Mégret, Father Anthony Désiré, Vermillionville, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1848 March 16

Mégret informed Father Nicholas Francais of the contents of Blanc's letter of March 3 concerning his leaving for Abbeville . Francais hesitates to go before receiving a letter from Blanc; Mégret asks Blanc to write him one as soon as possible. As Francais no doubt sent Mégret's first letter to Blanc by Father Julien Priour, Mégret will inform Blanc of what he is writing Francais today: the words of the Bishop, "I approve that he establish himself at Abbeville as soon as he is ready" and "As soon as Francais will be at Abbeville" show clearly that his appointment is the episcopal wish. Father Simon Rominger left Saturday for Abbeville and has not yet returned; he is either sick in body or in mind. :: V-5-i A.L.S. French 3pp. 4to.
