Chanche, Bishop John Joseph, Natchez, Mississippi, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 September 15

Blanc's letter of the 11th was handed to Chanche day before yesterday by Father Pitrat. Chanche will do what he can to make him learn some English. He is intelligent. Chanche is sorry to learn that Blanc has yet some apprehension of yellow fever. He sees by the Ami de la Religion that Bishop Michael Portier arrived in Lyons on his return from Gaeta. They may look for him very soon. Blanc is not to wait until Chanche goes to New Orleans to give him the barometer. It may be a long time. If Blanc recommends it to the clerk of the Princess of Natchez it will be safe. Chanche is getting uneasy about his bell. Has the vessel of which Mr. Barron spoke, Les Trois Soeurs, arrived yet?
