Barron, Bishop Edward, Mobile, Alabama, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 January 7

Barron trusts that the Almighty will spare Blanc all his priests under the present epidemic. Here cases of the cholera have been extremely few. There was a report that some cases had found their way to Spring Hill but this was not true. Bishop Michael Portier left yesterday to see a sick person at Tuscaloosa. He expects to be back about the 16th. Since Barron has been in Mobile the weather has been rainy. Father J.M. Portier, who is in Havana, is declared to be in the second stage of consumption. Barron expects an important letter addressed to Blanc's care and asks him to address him at Mobile. He asks to be remembered to Fathers Rousselon, Mascaroni, Sanson, etc. V-5-k - A.L.S. - 2pp. - 4to. - {3}
