Moynihan, Father Jeremiah, New Iberia, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1848 May 30

He would have written, as he promised, soon after his arrival here but he knew that Blanc was on his pastoral visitation. When he arrived Father Julien Priour was in a state of great debility. His health is much improved. He says Mass, is often in the confessional and is preparing for First Communion. A considerable number of his male parishioners have made their Easter duty. English Catholics are few, only two families. :: V-5-i A.L.S. 3pp. 4to.
