Landry, R.S.C.J, Madame Telcide, Natchitoches, Louisiana, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1849 December 30

She wishes Blanc a happy new year. The news of his visit fills them with joy. His last letter was a new proof of his interest. Father Auguste Martin will not fail to respond to Blanc's high hopes. Everyone is delighted with him. Connection with the Sherburn family is assurance that there will no longer be any difficulty about burying the dead. Father Anthony Andrieux, C.M. is greatly regretted; he continued the work Father Joseph Giustiniani, C.M. had done. Their Visitatrix brought them Madames Aloysia Hardey, R.S.C.J. and Poursine, R.S.C.J. and Sister Marcelite, R.S.C.J.. She appointed to St. Michael's, Madame Lavy, R.S.C.J. who could not stay here longer than at New York. Tomorrow they move into their new house. It is not beautiful but very convenient. They expect 8 new boarders January 2. Cora Lecomte will be among them. Landry sends Blanc no enclosure a rule for the new arrangements made for the orphans of the town.
