Dalloz, Father Charles, Avoyelles, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 June 5

The sale of the property took place April 20 through Charles Dimarqui. Dalloz sends $200 for the first payment; he will try to give Blanc the rest when he comes for Confirmation. Dalloz received neither the encyclical nor pastoral letter about the Peter's pence nor did he read it in the paper. Will Blanc send one with Dimarqui? Father Edward D'Hauw promised Dalloz a ciborium and monstrance but he has not seen them. People came to visit the Blessed Sacrament on Thursday; the altar was shaken by the floor boards, the candle holders fell over carrying with them the chalice with the Sacred Hosts. To prevent another such a jar, they are going to block up the building again. He asks Blanc to ask D'haw to write to the priest who has these vessels. If he does not make a present of them, Dalloz will pay if it is not too much. V-5-k - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. - 4to. - {3}
