Emily, S.C., Sister, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 October 21

They have been waiting so long expecting to see Blanc daily in Baton Rouge. Father Auguste Martin went to New Orleans not long since and told them to go to confession to the priest he left in his place. In the mean time Sister Serene, S.C. arrived and said that the council had passed that they could go to no priest but the one appointed except with special permission from the Bishop. Sister asks for this permission. The school is getting pretty good. Poor Sister M. Ambrose, S.C. will not last very long; she still gives her lessons. They have seven music scholars. Ambrose keeps the drawing since Sister Clotilda, S.C. left. They could do with four Sisters if Ambrose was not so delicate. It is going on two years since Blanc has been here.
