Noguès, Peter Cheri, Cincinnati, Ohio, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 June 8

In his letter of January 24, Blanc said that perhaps he would come through Cincinnati on his way to the Council in Baltimore or on his return. Noguès waited for that time to reply about his study of Philosophy. But since Bishop Purcell has said Blanc was back at New Orleans, he writes to inform Blanc of his decision. He hopes Blanc will not disapprove. In making his philosophy at St. Xavier he would have the advantage of learning a little more Greek, mathematics, and chemistry, and perfecting his English. Father Mearns, his professor and director has approved this plan and will add a few lines. - A.L.S. -
