Cretin, Father Joseph, Dubuque, Iowa, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 September 27

The person named Marchal, coming from Belgium and who was to call on Blanc to get $30 sent from here to New Orleans, went by way of the Lakes and died some miles from here on the way. Cretin believes that Marchal's brother will claim the money. Blanc no doubt knows that Bishop Mathias Loras left for Europe two weeks ago. V-5-l - A.L.S. - French - 1p. - 4to. - {3}
