Emily, S.C., Sister: Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 January 28

Father Auguste Martin says that Blanc sends for money for the house. It would be the greatest pleasure to send the entire sum but it is not at her disposal. She will send what she can. She hopes Blanc will come to see them and then he will see where the money has gone. She knows nothing about the house as neither Blanc, nor Martin, nor Sister Mary Margaret, S.C. said a word to her about it. Since Christmas they have had very few scholars. She heard that Sister Regina Smith, S.C. has been very ill. Sister Mary Ambrose, S.C. is not at all well; Sister Rosina?, S.C. also. Sister Clotilda, S.C. complains often. Blanc almost made Emily jealous sending for Clotilda. She asks to be remembered to her Sisters and to Margaret. V-5-k - A.L.S. - 4pp. - 4to. - {7}
