Gora, Theodosia, Grand Coteau, Louisian, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 March 21

She did not see Blanc last year during his visit here. She has been here the last three years and her husband has been here for five years, a professor of music and drawing in the College. Her name was Theodosia Lee, niece of Madame St. Clair, R.U. of the Ursuline Convent in New Orleans where she was educated. They wish to settle in Grand Coteau and as the place they now occupy, the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Pierce Connelly, belongs to Blanc they hope to be able to make arrangements for it. This new administration of the College from whom they rent exact a much higher rent than the house in its present condition is worth. They prefer moving the house to the College rather than to diminish the rent. They apply to Blanc, wishing to purchase the ground or lease for a number of years. Thus they may be able to build a dwelling of their own. V-5-k - A.L.S. - 3pp. - folio - {4}
