Chanche, Bishop John Joseph, Natchez, Mississippi, to Bishop Anthony Blanc, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1850 February 13

He thanks Blanc for the dalmatics. The ordination went off very well, two priests, one deacon, and two subdeacons. Chanche was unwell and could not speak. This letter will be handed to Blanc by Mr. Ardois whom Chanche ordained subdeacon and who is on his way to Baltimore. Blanc is to ask Father Rousselon to put him on a boat to Cincinnati. Ardois' departure will make room for the gentleman who was to come; he can come as soon as he pleases. Father Raho requested Rousselon to have their ordination published in the Propagateur. P.S. Nothing yet about the Council. :: V-5-m A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
