Cartuyvels, Father S. Louis, St. Mary's, Baltimore, Maryland?, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 September 16

He has not written sooner to thank Blanc because up to now he has not been able to decide anything. Blanc)is still his bishop. Cartuyvels is still at St. Mary's where he is settling his affairs and will remain here until he can return to New Orleans as he must to talk to Blanc. If he cannot continue to build the church and house he must settle his affairs himself. This building has already almost ruined him. He hopes Blanc will not put an obstacle to his return for from what they write everything is in good order at New Orleans and they are convinced of his innocence. He has had horrible trial.
