Mènard, Father Charles M., Lafourche Interieure, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 June 30

He takes advantage of Robert Verret's going to ask a favor for his sister Stéphanie, the Widow P. Troné. She wishes to have an orphan girl to keep her company and care for her children. She wants one at least 10 or 12 and German, if possible. Blanc can confide the orphan to Verret, of Thibodaux. Father Hyacinthe Tumoine is well. Mr. Pilard of Vincennes has been here for two months as singer and sacristan. Blanc is to remember Troné in his prayers. Mènard plans to have a service for him on July 17, 30 days after his death.
