Donnet, Archbishop Ferdinand, Bordeaux, France, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 October 28

The first affections of life are the sweetest and most lasting. Donnet has loved and revered Blanc for more than 30 years. Does Blanc ever come back to France? If he wishes to be one of the fathers of the Council of Bordeaux, Donnet invites him today. The bishops of the United States have long had this prerogative. This letter will be brought by one of Donnet's best diocesans whom he recommends. The enclosed letter no enclosure from the first president will tell better than Donnet can, what is asked of Blanc.
