Ménard, Father Charles M., Lafourche Interieure, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 July 20

Vigor Boutelou, bearer of this letter, will give Blanc $20 for the Pope. The delicate circumstances concerning their new church are the cause of the smallness of this sum; Ménard had to furnish half of it. He recalls to Blanc what he said in his last letter about an orphan girl. Boutelou could bring her here. Otherwise he could send her by the Streck but not by the Mary Foley which is to discontinue coming to their bayou. V-5-l - A.L.S. - French - 2pp. - 4to. - {2}
