Blanc, Bishop Anthony, New Orleans, Louisiana, to Mr. Poidebord, 1849 June 6

Blanc wrote Poidebord a letter at the end of April, but did not have time for a lengthy one. He said he would write again on his return from Baltimore and send the interest on the money he received for Poidebord, which he used. The interest from June, 1848, the time from which he started counting through Father Boué of Ayné is 650 francs. Since then Blanc has received the total due on the estate of Poidebord's uncles except 309 piastres which remain to be paid on the note from the estate of Delery, or Villars, 500 piastres. Further details of this inheritance are given here. Since December 12 they have had cholera here. For four weeks a large portion of the city was flooded by the Mississippi which did immense damage.
